Determination of the Circulation Intensity in a Centrifuge Rotor in the Enrichment of Isotopic Mixtures of Heavy Gases

The circulation flow in a centrifuge during enrichment of isotopic mixtures of heavy gases is determined. Nickel tetraphosphine Ni(PF3)4 was used as the working substance to study the hydraulic and separative characteristics of a centrifuge. The relative circulation parameter m characterizing the efficiency of the multiplication of the primary effect is determined by comparing the computed dependences with the experimental results obtained in this work.
