In this paper, extensive three-dimensional CFD simulations of vortex tube (VT) are
conducted with five inert gases, namely helium, neon, argon, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide …

The thermal separation inside a vortex tube can be influenced using different shapes of
throttle valves. Experimental and numerical tests are performed on the thermal …

Although many efforts have been made to disclose the energy separation phenomenon
based on theoretical, numerical and experimental analysis in vortex tubes, it is still difficult to …

In the present study, the potential of integrating a Ranque-Hilsch vortex tube (RHVT) in the
precooling process for refueling high-pressure hydrogen vehicles in hydrogen refueling …

Vortex tubes are used in many industrial fields as parts for refrigerating machines due to
their many intrinsic benefits. Although the use of these types of tubes has become common …

Abstract The Ranque–Hilsch vortex tube is a simple device with no moving parts and no
mechanical operations. This device separates the inlet air into two distinctive regions; an …

Currently, little research has been done regarding the influence of working gases, especially
HFCs, on energy separation in vortex tubes. Based on this, a vortex tube performance test …
