Abstract (2. Language): 
In this paper, effect of energy separation has been investigated by using a Computational Fluid Dynamic technique. The equations have been solved in 2D compressible and high swirl turbulent model. The effects of thermo- physical and geometrical parameters also have been considered. Different Length of vortex tube was modeled. It was also found that increasing the tube to a critical point situated in 0.17 m of helps the transport of energy from inner layers to periphery ones.
