Abstract

Abstract In this paper I present the results of my studies on a new explanation of the vortex (Ranque-Hilsch) tube’s phenomenon. It is new way of understanding this process. The vortex tube was discovered in 1930 by French physicist Georges Ranque. Hilsch was the first American engineer to develop this phenomenon into practical, effective cooling solutions for industrial applications and theoretical modeling and calculations. Currently, the use of conventional vortex pipes is limited in engineering application because of their low thermodynamic efficiencies. Problems associated with these thermal limitation include the separation of gaseous condensate, the separation of liquified air, and more. Still, some technological studies on heat energy generation using new techniques and heat transformation devices should be conducted. This paper addresses the subject of the Ranque-Hilsch vortex tube’s phenomenon explanation based on a vortex-exited oscillation. There is no previous work reported in the literature desdribing the temperature splitting model by wave generating process. The study was motivated by the heating and cooling phenomenon that occurs in the Ranque-Hilsch vortex tube.
