Particle Motion in Centrifugal Field; FPT Ch8 Q1

Worked solution for Question 1, Chapter 8 (available as free download at https://www.particles.org.uk/particle_technology_book/index.htm) in Fundamentals of Particle Technology. The motion of an oil drop, suspended in water, in a centrifugal field is modelled between two radii of 15 and 12.5 cm. The time taken for removal of all oil drops of 10 microns, and larger, in diameter is deduced. Many of the concepts relevant to the motion of particles within a centrifugal field are covered. One of the most important, but often misunderstood, is that in the case of the dispersed phase (oil) being less dense than the continuous phase (water), the dispersed phase will move inwards, and not outwards, in the centrifugal field. This is logical, as oil drops float, and do not sink, when under a gravitational field force.
