Vortex Tubes: The colder the input, the colder the output?

Shingoshi - 16-8-2009 at 09:33

1.) Does the cold exhaust of a vortex tube drop proportionately to the temperature of the intake?
2.) Does the transfer of heat increase with the pressure or velocity of the intake gas?

This question has been sitting here unanswered...

Does no one know how to properly answer this question?

A bit of explanation might get someone interested!
Or better phrasing. . .

A quick Google search using words from Wicki "Ranque-Hilsch vortex tube"
turned up over 1800 items, among them a thesis from MIT:

I'll leave it up to you to interpret the information.

This post of yours would have saved me a lot of time and confusion. I will now start reading this to find out what was done.

Thank you ever so much!!
