Abstract
Excerpt: Although awareness of the phenomenon of temperature separation in Ranque-Hilsch vortex tubes dates back at least nine decades, some mystery surrounding the phenomenon remains to this day. These devices split an incoming stream of fluid into two streams—one with a greater total temperature than the incoming fluid and the other with a lower total temperature. This temperature separation is accomplished with no moving parts and no external sources of energy including heat transfer to or from the device. Abstract © ASME.
