The scope for using a vortex tube as a dust trap

  • Industrial Ecology
  • Published:
Chemical and Petroleum Engineering Aims and scope

An exergy analysis is presented for dust trapping in a vortex tube. Much of the energy of the initial flow is consumed in the thermodynamic separation, but the additional function of removing dust has hardly any effect on the thermal characteristics.
