Laboratory centrifuges are used for separating particles from solutions according to their size, shape, density, viscosity of the medium, and rotor speed. The theoretical basis of this technique is ...

Description: The air stream enters the separator tangentially at the top, creating a rotating airflow (vortex). By centrifugal force the dust or liquid particles are moved along the outside wall where ...

A gas centrifuge operates on a separator principle. The velocity of rotation inside the mechanism totals 1,500 rotations per second, thus separating the lighter Uranium 235 from Uranium 238.
