Abstract

Energy separation characteristic occurring in a counterflow vortex tube was studied experimentally, where air, $C_2$, and R22 were used as working fluids. The experiments were carried out with pressure ratio from 3 to 8 and cold mass fraction(y) from 0.1 to 0.9. As results, Ranque-Hilsch effect showed different results from adiabatic expansion process. Temperature difference in vortex tube outlet was affected by Joule-Thomson effect as well as Ranque-Hilsch effect. The more effective the energy separation was, the more increased the entropy in the cold oulet of vortex tube was.
