Problem 2

A viscous solution contains particles with a density is to be

clarified by centrifugation. The solution density is and its
viscosity is 80 cp. The centrifuge has a bowl with ρp =1200
kg/m3 ρ = 850 kg/m3 r2= 0.02 r1= 0.01 m and height b=0.25 m.
Calculate the critical particle diameter of the largest particles
in the exit stream if N=15000 rpm and flow rate q=0.002 m3
/hr?
