Estimation of flow rate for centrifugation of yeast cells a maximum flow rate of 50 liters/min was achieved for the centrifugation of bacteria cells in a tubular centrifuge. The cells were 2.0 μm in diameter and had a density of 1.08 g/cm3. The medium had a density of 1.01 g/cm3 and viscosity of 1.2 cp. It is desired to centrifuge yeast cells in this same centrifuge. The yeast cells have a diameter of 5.0 μm and a density of 1.10 g/cm3. The medium has a density of 1.02 g/cm3 and a viscosity of 1.3 cp. Estimate the maximum flow rate that can be used to centrifuge the yeast cells.
