Calculation of a cascade with the same number of gas centrifuges in stages and a given concentration of the target isotope in output streams

Abstract

The paper proposes a method for calculating a cascade with the same number of gas centrifuges in stages, variable stage separation coefficients, and a given concentration of the target isotope in output streams. The method ensures determining the optimal parameters of a gas centrifuge cascade with a given layout based on the calculated identical feeding streams of stages. The computational experiment was carried out for germanium tetrafluoride. The advantages over cascades with a profiled feeding stream of stages are demonstrated using the example of concentrating ⁷⁰Ge and ⁷⁶Ge.
