Vorteks tüpleri: 1-Teknolojik gelişim

1928 yılında, bir metalurjist ve fizikçi olan Fransız bilim adamı Georges Joseph Ranque tarafından keşfedilmesinden itibaren, vorteks tüpleri, teorik ve pratik uygulama açısından oldukça ilgi çeken bir konu olmuştur. Yaygın olarak "Ranque-Hilsch Vorteks Tüpü" ismi ile anılan bu tüpler günümüzde çok çeşitli kullanım alanları bulmakta ve ticari firmalar tarafından seri imalatları yapılmaktadır. İki bölümden oluşan makalenin bu bölümü, vorteks tüplerin sınıflandırılması, vorteks tüplerin konsfrüksiyonu, vorteks tüplerde kullanılan akışkanlar, vorteks tüplerin kullanım alanları ve vorteks tüplerin ticari üretimi konu başlıklarını içermektedir, Vorteks tüp araştırmaları, vorteks tüp inceleme yöntemleri, vorteks tüplerde enerji ayrışması, vorteks tüplerin performansını etkileyen parametreler ve vorteks tüplerin performansı konuları ise makalenin ikinci bölümünde ayrıntılı olarak incelenecektir.

Since its discovery in 1928 by a Frenchman, metallurgist and phycsist Georges Joseph Ranque, the vortex tube has been the subject of considerable interest both from the theoretical and practical application standpoints. These tubes, widely called "Ranque-Hilsch Vortex Tube", have found many applications and are being mass-manufactured by commercial companies. First section of this article contains the classification of vortex tubes, the construction of vortex tubes, the working fluids in vortex tubes, the applications of vortex tubes, and the commercial production ofvortextubes. The investigations on vortex tubes, the methods of investigation on vortex tubes, energy separation mechanism, the parameters affecting performance, and the performance of vortex tubes will be described in detail in the second section of the article.
