Example 5.5 shows how to determine the rotor rotation speed and its gap width to produce emulsion particles \(5 \mu \mathrm{m}\) in diameter. If it is decided that the emulsion particle diameter needs to be further reduced to \(1 \mu \mathrm{m}\) while keeping the gap width at its minimum size, what should be the rotor radius?

One of the requirements for a cream product is that the emulsion droplets should have a diameter smaller than 5 m to obtain a smooth cream. Develop a conceptual process design along with the key equipment characteristics and operating conditions.
