Calculation of a square cascade with losses of the working material in the steps and pipelines during separation of multicomponent isotopic mixtures

A method is proposed for calculating the stationary mass transfer of a multicomponent isotopic mixture in a square cascade with arbitrary enrichment and losses at the separation steps and in the pipelines of the cascade. The method, which is based on successive approximation of the cascade separatio...

More Information
Summary:A method is proposed for calculating the stationary mass transfer of a multicomponent isotopic mixture in a square cascade with arbitrary enrichment and losses at the separation steps and in the pipelines of the cascade. The method, which is based on successive approximation of the cascade separation factor, makes it possible to reduce computational time substantially compared with the conventional method of quasilinearization.
