Keywords: spin, dewatering, whirls, apparatus, enrich

an apparatus having containers for liquids arrayed around a central pivot and rotated at a high speed, thus generating centrifugal force on the liquid, and separating substances (such as particles of solid or globules of an immiscible liquid) mixed together in suspension within the liquid. Suspensions which would settle only very slowly or not at all under gravity can be made to separate quickly in such a device.

a machine that rotates (spins) rapidly and uses centrifugal force to separate substances of different densities. You've used a centrifuge before. Have you ever watched a washing machine on spin cycle? A washing machine uses centrifugal force in the spin cycle to separate the water from your clothes.

serono-canada.com

an instrument used to spin tubes to separate solutions into different phases (liquid or solid). In this example, the red blood cells and other blood components are "spun out" of the blood, creating two layers in the tube: components below and serum above.

hhmi.org

A rapidly rotating cylinder that can be used for enrichment of uranium. The spinning cylinder concentrates the heavier isotope (U-238) or uranium hexafluoride gas along the clinder's walls, while the lighter isotope (U-235) concentrates at the center of the cylinder, where it can be drawn off separately.

A centrifuge is a rapidly spinning device for the purpose of separating out mixed materials. It has found in use in the winery as it may be used to clarify the must. It may also be used to separate out fractions of the liquid must, which has led to its use as a dealcoholisation tool. Also known as a spinning cone.

A centrifuge is a piece of equipment, generally driven by a motor, that puts an object in rotation around a fixed axis, applying force perpendicular to the axis. The centrifuge works using the sedimentation principle, where the centripetal acceleration is used to separate substances of greater and less density. There are many different kinds of centrifuges, including those for very specialised purposes.
