Abstract
An analysis is given for the solution to a system of equations describing the separation in a liquid thermal-diffusion column. Similarity numbers are derived for the effects of concentration and thermal expansion on the separation. A method is given for calculating the thermal-diffusion constant that eliminates the effects of concentration on the density.
