Abstract

The exponential industrialization and growing population result constantly increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is also considered to be a major contributor to rising atmospheric temperatures and pollution in air. This study aims to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the environment by utilising gas separation via a vortex tube. Furthermore, gas separation using a vortex tube is still a relatively unexplored and intriguing research area. Throughout the research, we conducted extensive research on the topic using CFD simulations of our self-designed vortex tube. In this study, the plots of the molar concentrations of CO2 and N2 were plotted to verify the separation of CO2 within a vortex tube.
