Question: Derive expression for the interfacial position and density of two immiscible liquids in a centrifugal decanter. ( a ) A centrifuge bowl with 3 2

Derive expression for the interfacial position and density of two immiscible liquids in a centrifugal decanter.(a) A centrifuge bowl with 321 mm internal diameter is rotating at a speed of 2000 rpm. It contains a layer of benzene 260 mm thick. Calculate the gauge pressure exerted by benzene on the wall of the centrifuge bowl. Assume density of benzene is 832 kg/m3.(Note: Here, the centrifuge is consisting of only one liquid i.e. benzene)(b) Suggest suitable option(s) to reduce the gauge pressure obtained in question 5(a) by 50%
