Yeast cells are recovered from a fermentation broth by using a tubular centrifuge. Sixty percent (60%) of the cells are recovered at a flow rate of 12 l/min with a rotational speed of 4000 rpm. Recovery is inversely proportional to flow rate. At a constant rpm of 4000 rpm, what should be the flow rate to result in 95% cell recovery?
