Question 153
XE-GNAT2 marksNeeds review
A tubular centrifuge separates 5 micron particles of density 1500 kg/m³ from a slurry. The slurry is fed at a volumetric flow rate of 0.5 m³/s. The equivalent clarification area of the centrifuge is ______ m². (Answer in integer)
Assume g = 10 m/s² and for water, density = 1000 kg/m³, coefficient of viscosity (μ) = 10⁻³ Pa-s
