Abstract

This paper presents effect of cold mass friction, the rates of air flow, the inlet pressure, and the time on hot and cold air temperatures that are generated in the vortex tube. The vortex tube is manufactured by simple equip-ments within low prices. That proves the simplification of the vortex tube. Although the efficiency of vortex tube is low, but it produces low temperatures without using expensive cooling machines.
