Hydraulic Resistance of Fine Packing in Uranium Hexafluoride Rectification

  • Published:
Atomic Energy Aims and scope

The hydraulic resistance of irregular fi ne packing is studied as a function of the process parameters for the rectification of metal hexafluorides. It is shown that the dependence of the hydraulic resistance of irregular fi ne packing on the rectification parameters coincides with the dependence presented in the literature but with different coefficients and exponential factors.
