    The document describes a vortex tube that splits incoming high pressure air into two streams. The incoming air has a pressure of 650 kPa and temperature of 305 K. It is split such that 25% of the mass exits at a cold temperature T3 through one end, while the other 75% exits at 325 K through the warm end, both at a lower pressure of 100 kPa. The vortex tube is stated to operate at steady state and adiabatically with no work transfer. It asks to calculate the cold exit temperature T3 and determine if this device is possible based on the given information and assumptions.

    Vortex Tube

    Problem sketch

    Solve with EES. Document all necessary balances.

    According to the company that makes the vortex tube, the device takes in high pressure air at pressure
    P1 = 650 kPa and temperature T1 = 305 K and splits it into two streams of air that both leave at lower pressure,

    P2 = P3 = 100 kPa. One of the streams exits through the cold end of the device at a low temperature, T3 , and

    the other exits through the warm end at a high temperature, T2 = 325 K. The fraction of the entering mass that
    leaves through the cold end is f = 0.25. The vortex tube operates at steady-state, it is adiabatic and there is no
    work transfer to or from the device. Model air as an ideal gas with R = 287 J/kg-K and constant specific heat
    capacity, cp = 1004 J/kg-K.

    a. What is the temperature of the air leaving through the cold end, T3 ?
    b. Is this device possible? Justify your answer.
