ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We would like to thank respected Dr. Ashok Kumar Choudhary, Mr. Vijay Jangid and
Mr. Manoj Verma for giving us such a wonderful opportunity to expand our knowledge for
our own branch and giving us guidelines to present a project report. It helped us a lot to
realize of what we study for.
Secondly, we would like to thank our parents who patiently helped us as. We went
through our work and helped to modify and eliminate some of the irrelevant or un-necessary
stuffs.
Thirdly, we would like to thank our friends who helped us to make our work more
organized and well-stacked till the end.
Next, we would thank Microsoft for developing such a wonderful tool like MS Word.
It helped our work a lot to remain error-free.
ABSTRACT
A vortex tube is a Thermo-fluidic device, which separate cold and hot streams from a single
injection of pressurized gas. Without any moving parts or chemical reaction within the tube,
the interesting phenomenon of energy separation results only from fluid dynamic effects.
The main part of a typical counter-flow vortex tube is a straight tube with a tangential
injection, through which compressed gas is injected into the tube. There are two exits, located
at different ends of a counter-flow vortex tube, or at the same end for a uni-flow vortex tube.
A control plug is positioned inside the tube away from the injection point, which has a
smaller dimension than the inner diameter of the tube, and this allows the gas to escape from
the small gap between the control plug and the tube. The cold exit is located in the central
part of the tube at the same end of the injection, while the hot exit is the gap between the plug
and the tube. When the compressed gas is injected into the tube tangentially at a high
velocity, two streams with different temperatures will be generated d exhausted from the two
exits of the tube. This phenomenon of temperature separation in a vortex tube is known as the
Ranque effect.
