dc.description.abstractThe refrigeration characteristics and governing parameters of a vortex heat exchanger were studied in this investigation. A set of empirical curves was developed utilizing input variables of inlet pressure, flowrate, and diffuser gap distance. A temperature profile of the bottom diffuser plate was obtained using an infrared camera. It was found that as the inlet pressure increases, the temperature drop across the vortex heat exchanger also increases. The optimum diffuser gap distance was determined to be 0.254 mm.en
