Abstract - The Ranque-Hilsch vortex tube has been used for many decades in various engineering applications. Because of its compact design and little maintenance requirements, it is very popular in heating and cooling processes. Despite its simple geometry, the mechanism that produces the temperature separation inside the tube is fairly complicated. A number of observations and theories have been explored by different investigators concerning this phenomenon. This report goes over some of the major conclusions found from experimental and numerical studies since the vortex tube's invention. One of these studies showed that acoustic streaming caused by vortex whistle plays a large part in the Ranque-Hilsch effect. In addition, thermal and kinetic energy considerations have been used to explain temperature separation. There have also been plenty of numerical analyses that confirm earlier experiments. One fact still remains, however. There is no unifying theory that explains the temperature separation phenomenon inside the vortex tube. In this study, the past investigations of the design criteria of vortex tubes were overviewed and the detailed information was presented on the design of them. Vortex tube were classified and the type of them was described. All criteria of vortex tubes were given in detail using experimental and theoretical results from the past until now. Finally, the criteria on the design of them are summarized.
