Performance comparison of match abundance ratio cascade with optimal conditions for the separation of stable xenon isotopes

In the present study, for the first time the R cascade under normal and optimal conditions with the constant and specified total number of cascade stages, the feed flow rate to the cascade, the factor of separation based on the unit mass difference, and the maximum and optimal of the feed flow into the centrifuge machine is assessed. The algorithm used for optimization is TLBO algorithm and the objective function is considered as a function of separation work for a single machine and match abundance ratio. The results show that in the cascade with the match abundance ratio for isotopes k1 and k2 the separation work in optimal cascade is more than conventional. If the abundance ratio is adapted for two pair of components, i.e., the “first and third” and the “second and third, the separation power in the optimal mode for the first and second cases is 1% and 9% more than those of conventional, respectively. Finally, a computational code named MISCC is written to determine and analyze the parameters of the match abundance ratio cascade in optimal and normal conditions.
