Problem 2.161
Uranium is used in light water reactors to produce a controlled nuclear reaction for the generation of power.
When first mined, uranium comes out as the oxide U3O8, 0.7% of which is the isotope U-235 and 99.3%
the isotope U-238. For it to be used in a nuclear reactor, the concentration of U-235 must be in the 3–5%
range. The process of increasing the percentage of U-235 is called enrichment, and it is done in a number
of ways. One method uses centrifuges, which spin at very high rates to create artificial gravity. In these
centrifuges, the heavy U-238 atoms concentrate on the outside of the cylinder (where the acceleration is
largest), and the lighter U-235 atoms concentrate near the spin axis. Before centrifuging, the uranium is
processed into gaseous uranium hexafluoride or
UF6
, which is then injected into the centrifuge. Assuming
that the radius of the centrifuge is 20 cm and that it spins at 70;000 rpm, determine
(a) The velocity of the outer surface of the centrifuge.
(b)
The acceleration in
g
experienced by an atom of uranium that is on the inside of the outer wall of the
centrifuge.
