Abstract |
|
A vortex tube is a compact energy device which splits a compressed air stream into hot and cold streams at opposite ends. This paper presents an insight on Ranque-Hilsch Vortex Tube (RHVT) with divergent nozzle, stream of compressed air to swirl in swirl chamber, conical projection and a diaphragm. The principle of vortex tube is used in vortex air gun for the purpose of cooling a work piece during machining operation. Various models are designed by varying the dependent parameters and the simulation of all the models is done. The model which gave the desired results is then fabricated. The vortex tube testing setup is made and testing of the fabricated model is done in order to verify the simulation results. |
