Answer:
1.10 %
Explanation:
The enrichment of the product can be calculated using the following equation:
[tex] \frac{W}{P} = \frac{x_{p} - x_{f}}{x_{f} - x_{w}} [/tex] (1)
where W: is waste or tails = 26000, P: is the product = 32000, xp: is the wt. fraction of ²³⁵U in product, xf: is the wt. fraction of ²³⁵U in feed = 0.72% and xw: is the wt. fraction of ²³⁵U in waste or tails = 0.25%.
By solving equation (1) for xp, we can find the enrichment of the product:
[tex] x_{p} = \frac {W}{P} \cdot (x_{f} - x_{w}) + x_{f} [/tex]
[tex] x_{p} = \frac {26000}{32000} \cdot (0.72 - 0.25) + 0.72 = 1.10% [/tex]
Therefore, the enrichment of the product is 1.10 %.
I hope it helps you!
