2. Gas diffusion
2.1 Physical principles
2.1.1 Elemental separation factor
The gas diffusion separation process through a porous barrier is based on the phenomenon of isothermal molecular diffusion. In a closed enclosure in thermal equilibrium with its surroundings, the molecules in the UF 6 gas mixture all have the same average kinetic energy. Consequently, molecules containing the 235 U isotope have a higher average velocity than molecules...
