Abstract
Considered are: (i) separation of gaseous molecules of different weight by the Ultra Centrifuge with application to large scale uranium enrichment to fuel nuclear power plants; (ii) separation of micron-sized particulate matter from fluids in mechanical devices in which use is made of inertial and centrifugal forces; (iii) separation of gaseous mixtures by fast expansion and cooling such that one of the gaseous components forms a mist of micron-sized droplets which are separated by centrifugation; and (iv) separation of components from gases by absorbing liquid films in small sized rotating channels. For each of these technologies we consider: physics of the separation process, assessment of the influence of fluid flow in the separation device, identification of leading parameters and their effect on design, experimental evidence, status of development, areas of application, position compared to other technologies, and economic value.
