Mathematical modeling of the heating process in a vortex tube at the gas distribution stations
In all sectors of the national economy of Ukraine, issues of energy efficiency and saving of fuel and energy resources are important. Legislative changes in the branches and scientific developments of scientists allow reducing the energy dependence of Ukraine on imported fuels. One of the energy-saving measures for the transportation of natural gas is the use of a vortex tube for heating natural gas at gas distribution stations. Natural gas is heated before the process of reducing it in the gas pressure regulator to prevent the formation of crystalline hydrates within the gas pressure re
