The displacement behavior of hydrogen-deuterium at the high flow rate has been studied. The results show that displacement efficiency of deuterium decreases as displacement time decreases. Compared with the effects at low flow rate, high displacement efficiency still can be attained at high flow rate because higher displacement pressure that increases the collision frequency partly compensates the loss of exchange caused by an increase in flow rate.
