Vortex flow in an actual gas.
vortexflowinactu00vick.pdf (7.320Mb)Abstract
Applications of the vortex have been used in engineering
for many years. Since the recent publication of
Rudolph Hilsch's work in Germany it is widely known that
there is a transfer of energy from the center to the outside
of a vortex in an actual gas. However, there is no
theory which satisfactorily explains this transfer of
energy in a vortex. In this investigation, an effort was made to determine
the characteristics of a vertex in an actual gas, the
vortex being formed inside a pipe by the introduction of
air tangent to the inside wall of the pipe.
