the longer a particle stays in the centrifuge the more work will be done on it. W=F*T.
for example for mine at 1 gallon per hour is 1200g x 900 seconds(900 s = 15 minutes) = 1080000 N of work done per quart.
My centrifuge holds a quart,so at 1 gph a quart stays in the bowl for 15 minutes.
on the other hand 55gph is flowing 3.67 quarts a minute so for a fluid driven centrifuge a quart passes through the centrifuge every 18 seconds.
so 3200gx18 seconds = 57600 N of work done per quart.
so 1,080,000 N of force on the oil vs 57,600 N of force on the oil.no wonder why my centrifuge pulls out so much crap...
