“…In addition, various other fluids like water (Balmer, 1998), monoatomic (Linderstr0m-Lang, 1965Gulyaev, 1966), diatomic (Baker, 1956;Aydin & Baki, 2006;Kirmaci, 2009;Agarwal, Naik, & Gawale, 2014), tri-atomic gases, twophase fluids (Collins & Lovelace, 1979;Takahama, Kato, & Yokosawa, 1979), mixtures of gases, steam and organic and inorganic refrigerants (Han, et al, 2013) have been used. Numerical studies (Farouk, Farouk, & Gutsol, 2009;Pinar, Uluer, & Kırmaci, 2009;Polat & Kirmaci, 2011;Khazaei, Teymourtash, & Jafarian, 2012;Baghdad, Ouadha, & Addad, 2012;Thakare & Parekh, 2014) are also available with different fluids mentioned above in the literature. Figure 13 shows the frequency of use of various fluids, it can be seen that majority of research has been performed on air as working fluid.…”

Vortex tube is the device that separates pressurized fluid into hot and cold fluid streams simultaneously. The scientific community has done extensive experimental and theoretical studies since invention of vortex tube to augment the performance of the tube by varying geometrical and operational parameters; the paper deals with parametric review of all such work. The review takes into account effect of almost 14 parameters on performance of vortex tube. It includes developments in tube geometry like L/D ratio, number of nozzles; hot end valve angle and cold orifice diameter etc. are discussed along with different fluids and operational parameters like CMF and stagnation point etc. The focus of most of the theoretical and experimental studies was to investigate mechanism of thermal separation and geometry optimization. The main objective of this review is to discuss efforts made in order to enhance the refrigeration effect so that, missing links could help for future research.

The vortex tube is an energy separation device that separates compressed gas stream into a low and a high temperature stream. Present work reports the flow behavior inside the vortex tube for different commonly used fluids with varied properties like Air, He, N 2 , CO 2 and NH 3. Flow behavior investigation for three-dimensional short straight-diverging vortex tube is done with CFD code (ANSYS 16.0). Different turbulent models, standard k-ε, Realizable k-ε and RNG k-ε are tested. Realizable k-ε model was then used for analysis. Flow behavior of gases with varied multi-atomic number is analyzed and compared with literature. The effect on temperature for N 2 is found to be better, followed by He, CO 2 , Air and NH 3 . Energy separation for N 2 is 46 % higher than all other gases. Energy separation and flow behavior inside vortex tube is analyzed and compared with literature.

Controlling the heat, generated during the cutting process, is an important factor in improving the quality of the product and performance of the machining. A vortex tube was employed to evaluate the eects of cooling on the turning parameters. Various cutting parameters (100 m/min, 250 m/min and 400 m/min) together with various cooling temperatures (4• C, 8• C and 20• C) were considered to nd surface roughness, cutting force and cutting temperature. Response surface methodology was used to optimize the experimental parameters. The best attainable surface roughness value was found to be 0.77 µm Ra, under the conditions of 0.15 mm/rev feed, 400 m/min cutting speed, 4• C (with vortex tube) cutting temperature and 1.2 mm tool edge radius. Cutting forces were not aected by the temperature changes. The dierence was negligible and as small as 1%. The minimum cutting temperature was 74.17• C, which was obtained under the machining conditions of 0.25 mm feed, 250 m/min cutting speed 4• C (with vortex tube) cutting temperature and 0.8 mm tool edge radius.
