Abstract
An analytical method of solving the convection-diffusion equation is presented for the centrifugal separation of a binary isotopic gas mixture under the condition that the pure axial flow velocity field is attained. In the present method, it is assumed that the radial concentration profile can be expressed in the form of multi-term expansion, and the two-dimensional partial differential equation is transformed into a set of ordinary differential equations through the multiple integration in the radial direction. Computations are made on UF6 gas in various types of centrifuges which have the ports for feed, product, and waste on the end plates. The results of the present analysis are compared with the other results of existing theoretical analysis. In spite of the approximate approach, the present method can provide a closer agreement with the two-dimensional finite difference method (FDM) proposed by Kai. Finally, it is shown that the results of the present analysis agree with the experimental data of Bea...
