Abstract: In this study, heating and cooling performances of counter-flow Ranque–Hilsch vortex tubes (RHVT) were experimentally investigated and modeled with a RBMTF (Rule-Based Mamdani-Type Fuzzy) modeling technique. Input parameters (ξ, L/D) and output parameters ΔTh, ΔTc were described by RBMTF if-then rules. 81 experimental data sets were used in the training step. Numerical parameters of input and output variables were fuzzificated as linguistic variables: Very Very Low (L1), Very Low (L2), Low (L3), Negative Medium (L4), Medium (L5), Positive Medium (L6), High (L7), Very High (L8) and Very Very High (L9) linguistic classes. R2 for the ΔTh was found to be 99.60% and R2 for the ΔTc was 99.80%. The actual values and RBMTF results indicated that RBMTF can be successfully used for the determination of heating and cooling performances of counter-flow RHVT with different geometric constructions for steel.
