A NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF THE EFFECT OF INLET GAS TEMPERATURE ON THE ENERGY SEPARATION IN A VORTEX TUBE

The main objective of this paper is to study the effect of inlet gas temperature change on the fluid flow characteristics and energy separation phenomenon within a counter-flow vortex tube. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model is a three-dimensional steady compressible model that utilizes th...
