INFLUENCE OF THE INLET VALVE DIAMETER, CONTAINER VOLUME, AND OF HORIZONTAL FINNING ON THE RATE OF FILLING A CONTAINER WITH UF6

The paper presents a mathematical model of the process of fi lling a vertical immersible container with gaseous UF_6. The mathematical model was program-realized and verifi ed on a test problem related to liquid fl ow in a cavity with a mobile lid. The results of calculations of the dynamics of fi lling a container at different diameters of the inlet valve, container volumes, and at different dimensions of a horizontal fi n are given. It is shown that the inlet valve diameter, container volume, and the presence of horizontal fi nning substantially infl uence the dynamics of fi lling the container
