Ideal cascade modeling with side streams

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This report describes an ideal cascade model of uranium enrichment that includes side feed and side product streams and flexible input options. This model is based on the original MSTAR model developed by Edward Von Halle and furnished to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in 1996. The current version includes more flexible input and output options which allow the user to specify a variety of input combinations. This flexibility allows specification of integer numbers of stages or the stage numbers of external flows instead of assays.
