A gas centrifuge of radius r=0.1r = 0.1 m rotates at angular velocity omega=3000\\omega = 3000 rad/s. A mixture of 235textUF6^{235}\\text{UF}_6 (M1=0.349M_1 = 0.349 kg/mol) and 238textUF6^{238}\\text{UF}_6 (M2=0.352M_2 = 0.352 kg/mol) gases is processed at T=300T = 300 K. The radial density profile follows C(r)=C(0)efracMomega2r22RTC(r) = C(0) e^{\\frac{M \\omega^2 r^2}{2RT}}, where R=8.314R = 8.314 J/(mol\cdot K). What is the separation factor alpha=frac(C2/C1)r(C2/C1)0\\alpha = \\frac{(C_2/C_1)_r}{(C_2/C_1)_0} at the outer wall?
