Abstract
The paper provides an analytical expression to determine the optimal rotor length of a gas centrifuge. The optimum is defined as the maximum separation power per unit volume occupied by the centrifuge. Long centrifuge rotors, typical for European centrifuges, appear economically inappropriate.
