A bibliography and survey of the vortex tube

Westley, R. (College of Aeronautics, 1954-03)

A comprehensive bibliography of vortex tube publications is given together with a brief survey of the development of the vortex tube between 1931 and 1953.
An investigation of the noise field from a small jet and methods for its reduction.

Westley, R.; Lilley, G. M. (College of Aeronautics, Cranfield., 1952-01)

Sound measurements have been made on the noise from the jet of a one inch diameter convergent nozzle at atmospheric temperature and at speeds above and below choking. The noise level and spectrum have been investigated ...
A note on the application of the vortex tube to ventilated suits

Westley, R. (College of Aeronautics, 1953-04)

The vortex tube has no moving parts and its makes it an attractive form of refrigerator when a source of compressed air is available. The drawback is that this device has a low efficiency. The proposed application ...
On some aspects of the noise propagation from supersonic aircraft

Lilley, G. M.; Westley, R.; Yates, A. H.; Busing, J. R. (College of Aeronautics, Cranfield, 1953-02)

The noise problem associated with an aircraft flying at supersonic speeds is shown to depend primarily on the shock wave pattern formed by the aircraft. The noise intensity received by a ground observer from a supersonic ...
Optimum design of a vortex tube for achieving large temperature drop ratios

Westley, R. (College of Aeronautics, Cranfield, 1955-05)

The vortex tube, invented by G.J. Ranque, is a simple device which separates a flow of compressed gas into a hot and a cold stream by means of a high speed vortex. It may have useful applications as a refrigerator and one ...
The potential due to a source moving through a compressible fluid and applications to some rotary derivatives of an aerofoil

Westley, R. (College of Aeronautics, Cranfield., 1952-02)

The first part of this note concerns the evaluation of the potential at a fixed point in space due to an arbitrarily moving source. Continues …
Vortex tube performance data sheets

Westley, R. (College of Aeronautics, 1957-07)

Experiments to determine the effect of various operating and design parameters on the performance of a vortex tube are described in College of Aeronautics Note No. 30. The present note gives additional performance data ...
