i know vortex tube is an element used to cool the air by changing pressure
i d like to know how does it work exactly ??

A vortex tube is a mechanical device that separates a compressed gas into hot and cold streams using a phenomenon known as the "vortex effect."
A vortex tube cools air by creating a spinning vortex inside the tube, which separates the compressed air into hot and cold streams. The cold stream is then used to cool the air, while the hot stream is expelled out of the tube.
The main components of a vortex tube include a compressed air inlet, a vortex generator, a cold air outlet, and a hot air outlet. Some vortex tubes also have a control valve to adjust the cold and hot air flow.
Vortex tubes are commonly used for cooling electronic components, machinery, and processes in industrial settings. They are also useful for spot cooling in manufacturing and in hot environments, such as foundries and steel mills.
Vortex tubes are considered to be highly efficient, with some models achieving cooling rates of up to 40 degrees Fahrenheit. They are also more cost-effective and environmentally friendly compared to traditional refrigeration methods, as they do not use any chemicals or produce harmful emissions.
