=== Engineering Design ===
The design of the vortex tube is meticulously engineered to optimize thermal separation and streamline gas flow. Key design parameters, including the diameter of the chamber, the angle of the tangential inlet, and the length-to-diameter ratio, are carefully calibrated to achieve desired temperature differentials and flow characteristics. Additionally, the internal geometry of the tube, such as the conical shape of the nozzle and the presence of vortex generators, serves to enhance fluid dynamics and maximize energy efficiency.

The engineering design of the vortex tube is crucial for optimizing its performance and efficiency. Here are some key design considerations:

|-
| Chamber Diameter
| The diameter of the vortex tube chamber affects the velocity and turbulence of the gas flow, influencing temperature differentials between the hot and cold streams.
|-
| Inlet Angle
| The angle at which the gas enters the chamber impacts the swirl intensity and vortex formation, affecting the efficiency of thermal separation.
|-
| Length-to-Diameter Ratio
| The ratio of the length to the diameter of the chamber influences the residence time of the gas and the degree of thermal stratification within the tube.
