摘要: Abstract The Ranque-Hilsch vortex tube (RHVT) is a small interesting extraordinary mechanical device used as refrigeration machine. An experimental setup has been developed for the study of both temperature and relative humidity separation in two important cases: (a) with insulation (b) without on tube. Two influential configurations are examined: (1) variations cold mass fraction (by varying flow at hot outlet) different pressures (2) inlet when outlet fully opened. Over whole pressure range covered, end drop increases then decreases non-insulated insulated cases. However, case, whereas it to some optimum value, case. maximum value found 65% 67% 4 bar respectively. Moreover, correlations drop, isentropic efficiency have explained this paper better understanding inside behavior RHVT. variation non-dimensional cold/hot obeys approximately single cubic equation also true case humidity.
