The problem on the limiting capacity of the thermodiffusion cycles of separating a mixture was investigated using the methodology of the finite-time thermodynamics. Expressions for the maximum efficiency of such a cycle and its limiting capacity, depending on the composition of the mixture separated, its temperature, and the heat flow used in the cycle, have been derived. The boundary of the realizability range of the regime parameters of a thermodiffusion cycle of separating a mixture was constructed and parametrized in the cycle efficiency–heat consumption plane.
