Design & Development of Vortex Cooling System

Abstract

Abstract: Possibilities for integration of vortex tube with automotive radiator for more effective cooling of automotive engine is the aim of the overview. An automotive radiator/heat exchanger is a device which helps maintain the working temperature of the engine. The vortex tube is a device which provides low temperature and high temperature output with pressure as an input. Because of its compact design and little maintenance requirements, it is very popular in heating and cooling processes. Despite its simple geometry, the mechanism that produces the temperature separation inside the tube is complicated. In addition, thermal and kinetic energy considerations have been used to explain temperature separation. There have also been plenty of numerical analyses that confirm earlier experiments. One fact remains, however. In this study, the past investigations of the design criteria of vortex tubes were overviewed and the detailed information was presented on the design of them. Vortex tubes were classified and the type of them was described. All criteria of vortex tubes were given in detail using experimental and theoretical results from the past until now.
