Design and investigating the inlet parameters on the performance of the Ranque-Hilsch vortex tube
This research study investigates the impact of various parameters such as L/D ratio, cold mass proportion, inlet pressure, and nozzle count on the performance and thermal energy separation process of a counter flow Ranque-Hilsch vortex tube (VT). Experimental and numerical methods were employed to assess the cold and hot exit temperatures, as well as the thermal energy separation. Four different orifice plates with two, three, five, and six nozzles were used in the experimentation, while air inlet pressure and cold mass fractions were varied between 200–1000 kPa and 0.5–0.7, respectively. The numerical model developed in ANSYS utilized the standard k-ε turbulence model to evaluate velocity and temperature patterns for optimal performance parameters. The results demonstrated that inlet pressure had the greatest influence on VT performance, and higher angular velocity differences were induced between the center and circumferential area of the VT. The study concludes by highlighting the minimum cold exit temperature of − 12 °C and the maximum hot exit temperature of 64.5 °C, as well as providing a useful framework for researchers to assess the thermal energy separation process across different Ranque-Hilsch VTs with varying orifice plates and nozzles.
