Question: A vertical cylindrical continuous flow decanter will be designed to separate the mixture containing a light petroleum liquid ( p = 8 7 5 k

A vertical cylindrical continuous flow decanter will be designed to separate the mixture containing a light petroleum liquid (p=875kgm3) at a flow rate of 2000kgh and a dilute wash water solution )=(1050kgm3 at a flow rate of 3500kgh. The viscosity of the continuous phase is 0.73cP. Assuming that the diameter of the decanter is equal to three times the height and the void volume is 10% of the total volume, calculate the outlet height of the heavy liquid, the diameter and height of the container.
