CONCENTRATION OF GERMANIUM ISOTOPES BY A MULTISTAGE SCHEME IN A RECTANGULAR CASCADE

Multistage schemes of germanium isotope concentration in a rectangular cascade with a given number of stages, feed point, fl ow of feeding the stages and the cascade are considered. A computational experiment on the separation of germanium tetrafl uoride in a cascade with large stage separation coeffi cients characteristic of gas centrifuges is carried out. The cascade calculations are performed by varying the cutoff s of partial stage fl ows with minimization of deviations of the calculated fl ows of feeding the stages from the given fl ow. For minimization, the bee colony algorithm is used, which ensures the required accuracy in determining the cascade parameters.
