| Popis: | A set of experimental as well as theoretical species separation studies in Ranque-Hilsch Vortex Tube (RHVT) with air as a binary gas mixture have been explored in this paper. The mixture is compressed and tangentially introduced into the vortex chamber of the RHVT and two streams are withdrawn at opposite ends of the device. Thermal as well as species separation are observed between these two outlet streams. Main objective of this paper is to analyse the role of most important geometrical and process parameters that influence species separation in RHVT. Another objective of this work is to present an improved version of a mathematical model to predict mass transfer in a counter current RHVT. A preliminary version of the model has been presented in a previous publication [1]. The model is validated with data obtained from in-house experiments conducted as well as data reported in literature by various researchers. |
