A novel corotating chamber with supersonic nozzles efficiently separates gases by molecular weight, mimicking solar wind propagation. This technology offers high efficiency for gas separation and pumping, achieving significant separative work units.

Area of Science:

Fluid dynamics
Plasma physics
Chemical engineering

Background:

Gaseous fluid separation is crucial in various industrial processes.
Existing methods may lack efficiency or versatility.
Understanding molecular weight-dependent separation is key.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce a novel gas separation technique using a corotating chamber with supersonic nozzles.
To elucidate the separation principle based on molecular weight and time-of-flight differences.
To evaluate the efficiency and potential applications of this separation method.

Main Methods:

Utilized a large, evacuated, drum-like chamber with central supersonic nozzles.
Implemented corotation of the chamber and nozzles.

Analyzed separation based on molecular weight and time-of-flight principles, analogous to solar wind propagation.

Main Results:

The corotating system effectively separates gaseous fluids based on molecular weight.
The process demonstrates high efficiency, functioning as both a pump and a separator.
Achieved over 10^5 separative work units (kg/year) for hydrogen/deuterium mixtures at high velocities.

Conclusions:

The described corotating chamber with supersonic nozzles presents an efficient method for gas separation.
The principle, analogous to solar wind propagation, allows for effective separation by molecular weight.
This technology shows promise for high-throughput gas separation and pumping applications.
