None of the above
10)A centrifuge having diameter and height as 50 cm and 1m, respectively, is being10 points
operated at 1200 rpm. 7 cm thick liquid layer is formed inside the bowl. Compute the volumetric
flow rate of slurry if 80 % of particles can be separated in this centrifuge. Specification: Density of
solid particle = 2000 kg/m3, Density of liquid = 1.2 kg/m3, Viscosity of liquid 0.0032 kg/m s. The
particle size distribution is
