QUESTION

14.4-4. centrifuging to Remove Food Particles. A dilute slurry contains small solid food
particles having a diameter of 5 x 10 -2 mm which are to be removed by centrifuging. The
particles density is 1050 kg/m3 and the solution density is 1000 kg/cm3. The viscosity of the
liquid is 1.2 x 10-3 Pa.s.A centrifuge at 3000 rev/min is to be used. The bowl dimensions are b =
100.1 mm, r1 = 5.00 mm, and r2 = 30.0 mm. Calculate the expected flow rate in m 3/s just to
remove these particles.

ANSWER

 Diketahui :
 Dp = 5 x 10-2 mm = 5 x 10-5 m
 ρ partikel = 1050 kg/m3
 ρ solution = 1000 kg/m3
 µ = 1,2 x 10-3 Pa.s
2 πN 2 ×3,14 × 3000
 N = 3000 rev/min ω=
60
= 60
= 314 rad/s

 b = 100.1 mm = 0.1 m
 r1 = 5.00 mm = 0.005 m
 r2 = 30.0 mm = 0.03 m

 Ditanya :
 q = ………….. m3/ s

 Jawab :
 q= ω 2
( ρ partikel - ρ solutions) D2p . [ π b (r22 - r12)
18 μ ln (r2 / r1)
 q = 3142 (1050 – 1000) (5x10-5) [3,14 x 0.1 (0,032-0,0052)]
18 . 1,2 x 10-3 Pa.s . ln (0,03 / 0,005)
 q = 98596 x 50 x 2,5 x 10-9 [0,314 ( 0.0009 – 0,000025 )
21,6 x 10-3 x 1,7918
 q = 0,0123245 x 0,00027475
0,03870288
 q = 8,75 x 10-5 m3/s
