Separation power density of gas dynamical isotope separation procedures for the enrichment of U-235 in the presence of light additive gases
Abstract
The separation power density of gas dynamical enrichment processes was evaluated. The method allows a transparent inclusion of auxilliary gases in the theory of isotope separation. The final formula of the separation power density shows strong similarities to the equations used for binary gas mixtures. The results obtained on two component mixtures can be applied to gas dynamical enrichment processes with more than two components.
