Analysis of the Centrifugal Filtration Process in a Rotor with a Conic Filter Surface

Abstract

The centrifugal filtration process in a centrifuge with a conic filter surface has been analyzed under the assumption of a one-dimensional flow. The problem of calculating the process parameters, such as the speed, the filtrate production capacity, and the liquid pressure, has been solved. The solution is illustrated based on an example of calculations for these parameters and presented in the form of their plots. The obtained plots reflect the specific process features and confirm the validity of the one-dimensional problem formulation.
