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.
