Microbial cells are separated from a culture broth at a flow rate of 3.35 x10^-3m3/5. Assume the cells are spherical with average diameter of 111m. Select a centrifuge that can perform this separation. Given data: p_cell =1.1, P_water,=997 kgm^-1 at 25 °C; P_broth = 3p_water, and the viscosity of water is 0.9 x 10^-3 N.s/m²

Microbial cell recovery is carried out in a continuous disc-stack centrifuge. The centrifuge is operated at 5000 rpm for separation of baker's yeast. At a feed rate of 60 1/min, 50% of the cells are recovered. At constant speed, solid recovery is inversely proportional to flow rate. What flow rate is required to recover 90% of cells if the centrifuge speed is fixed at 5000 rpm?
