A centrifuge is used to clarify a viscous solution (Density of 801 kg/m³ and Viscosity of 100 CP). The solid density is 1461kg/m³. Dimensions of the centrifuge are: 7.16 and 22.25 millimeter for the radii and 197 millimeter for the height. The flow rate is 4.72 x 10-5 cubic meter per minute and speed is 23,000 rpm. In order to produce a solution with negligible quantity of solid particles, the diameter of the particles, in micron, that needs to be settled is Blank 1 micron.
