This question was posed to me in examination.

This question is from Unit Operations in section Sedimentation and Centrifuge, Mixing, Size Reduction and Separation and Material Handling and Transportation of Food Engineering

Answer 1

Right option is (a) True, False

The explanation is: The radius of neutral zone depends on the radius of the centrifuge. More is the radius, more is the zone of centrifuge as it depends on the difference of the radii of the heavy and light zones.
