This paper aims to investigate fixed composition natural gases including N2, CH4 and C2H4 energy separation effect in vortex tube. Energy separation phenomena of those gases were investigated by means of three-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method. Flow fields of natural gases in fixed inlet boundary conditions were simulated. The results main factors were found that affect the energy separation with cold mass fraction being 0.7 and pressure drop ratio being 3.90. At the same time, this paper has illustrated the effects and tendencies of energy separation with gases in the tube under the same cold mass flow fraction and cold pressure ratio. The results show mixture gases total temperature difference effect is unchanged varied with the cold mass fraction; CH4% has no effect on the vortex cold end temperature separation, but varied of CH4% has an influence in total temperature and hot end separation effect; total temperature separation effect of CH4% was divided into two sections, one is0%-80%, and the other 80%-100%.

This paper aims to investigate real gases energy separation effect such as real natural gas, CH4 and C2H4 in vortex tube. Energy separation phenomena of real natural gas (RNG) were investigated by means of three-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method. Flow fields of ideal natural gas (ING), or RNG in low and high pressure were simulated. The results main factors were found that affect the separation effect. At the same time, this paper has illustrated the effect and tendency of energy separation with real gas in the tube under the same cold mass fraction and pressure ratio. The results show low pressure ideal gas and real gas energy separation effect difference about 3-4°C, the real gas effect is not obvious; High pressure real natural gas (HPRNG) and ideal gas (HPING) effect difference is 13-14°C, the real gas effect is obvious; CH4 (LRCH4) and C2H4 (HRC2H4) energy separation effect is obvious and effect of real gas is generated.

An application of CFD model for the simulation of a strongly swirling and high speed flow in the vortex tube is presented in this paper. A partly modified standard K-ε turbulent model has been used to investigate the flow characteristics and energy separation effect in the vortex tube. It is found that there is an obvious energy separation effect in the vortex tube and the numerical solutions of the flow and temperature fields agree well with the experiments. More detailed flow features are obtained by the CFD calculation. Based on the validated numerical model, the influence of the cold flow fraction on the energy separation effect is also investigated and compared with experimental results.

The vortex tube is a simple device for separating a compressed gaseous fluid stream into two flows of high and low temperature. In order to produce a high temperature separation effect, the use of a sufficiently long tube with a smooth inner surface has been standard procedure up until now. However, since such a device requires a large installation space, an attempt was made to shorten the length of the vortex chamber without any fall in the temperature separation effect by using some divergent tubes as the vortex chamber. Experimental data obtained in these vortex chambers were compared with those in the commonly used straight vortex chambers. Observation indicates that a divergent tube with a small angle of divergence is effective in obtaining a higher temperature separation and makes possible a shortening of the chamber length.
