Rutherford, W M

An experimental evaluation of the modified Furry, Jones, Onsager theory of the behavior of the cylindrical thermal diffusion column was performed; and experimental results agreed well with those expected from theoretical considerations. The experiments covered nine different gas systems in eight column configurations ranging in cold to hot wall diameter ratio from 3 to 26 and in experimental temperature difference from 50 to 785/sup 0/C. Eight of the gas systems dealt with separation of isotopes of the same element, but one test was performed on the separation of neon and xenon. (DDA)
