Method of Determining the Parameters of a Vortex Tube to Cool Aircraft Equipment.

A method has been proposed that allows calculating the parameters of a vortex cooling system for aircraft equipment as functions of flying conditions. The optimum configuration and the dimensions of basic elements of the vortex tube have been determined. By the numerical-modeling method, the operating parameters of the vortex system have been obtained. The adequacy of a computational model has been checked. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
