| Abstract: | Interstage flows are analyzed for multicomponent separating cascades composed of elements with large separation factors. Based on the concept of cut relevant to each component, analysis is performed by extending the theory of binary component separation to multicomponent systems. Since the cut relevant to each component is expressed by heads and tails separation factors, interstage flows of each component are calculated through giving separation factors of all stages in the cascade. Interstage flows of isotope mixture are obtained by summing those of each component. A condition on separation factors to construct a “matched abundance ratio cascade” is also discussed in the case where the separation factor does not vary from stage to stage. |
