Energy of the vortex

This article presents the main provisions of the vortex interaction hypothesis and physical processes that reflect the physical essence of the gas flow energy separation process in a vortex tube due to intense turbulent heat transfer from a forced to a free vortex. A technique is proposed for refining the calculated characteristics of the temperature of cold and hot flows in a vortex tube due to gas-dynamic and thermodynamic corrections. The refined calculation method makes it possible to achieve a good agreement between the temperature of the cooled gas and the experimental values.
