An international team of scientists featuring Florida State University researchers has developed a model that predicts the spread of vortices in so-called superfluids, work that provides new insight ...

A new patent from Stellantis covers a new way of cooling the hot compressed air from a turbocharger before it enters the engine. It would replace the traditional intercooler with a device called a ...

There was once a saying from the renowned American physicist Richard Feynman about turbulence. He said that it remains to be the most important "unsolved" problem in classical physics. The challenge ...

The Ranque-Hilsch vortex tube is an innovative device that utilises compressed gas to separate energy streams into distinct hot and cold outputs. Its operation is based on complex internal flow ...

We’re fascinated by things with no moving parts or active components that work simply by virtue of the shape they contain — think waveguides and resonators for microwave radiation. A similarly ...

A new range of CABINET COOLERS which are powered by an ingenious vortex tube, are an excellent alternative to traditional chiller units, especially in wet, humid, dusty or dirty environments where ...

High-temperature vortex tubes convert compressed air into two streams: one hot, one cold. High-temperature vortex tubes convert compressed air into two streams: one hot, one cold. The tubes cool ...

Evan's automotive love started early; before he was three, he could name every car on his street. Since then that love has grown, leading Evan to study mechanical engineering technology at college and ...

Vortex tubes are a key ingredient of turbulence, which is widely studied in classical physics. The motion of vortex tubes is relevant in a wide range of scenarios, such as the formation of hurricanes, ...
