Abstract: For any $kinNat$, we show that the cone of $(k+1)$-secant lines of a closed subscheme $Zsubsetmathbb{P}_K^n$ over an algebraically closed field $K$ running through a closed point $pinmathbb{P}_K^n$ is defined by the $k$-th partial elimination ideal of $Z$ with respect to $p$. We use this fact to give an algorithm for computing secant cones. Also, we show that under certain conditions partial elimination ideals describe the length of the fibres of a multiple projection in a way similar to the way they do for simple projections. Finally, we study some examples illustrating these results, computed by means of {sc Singular}.
