Numerical simulation of countercurrent flow and diffusion processes in a separating gas centrifuge

We present a linear model for the numerical simulation of antisymmetric countercurrent flow in a gas centrifuge which has high computation speeds. A model describing the mechanics and thermodynamics of a gas is proposed with an equation for the concentration of separated components. Numerical examples are presented. We conclude that this technique is capable of accurately predicting the performance of a wide variety of machines under all operating conditions of interest.
