(chemical engineering)
hello, I have to completely size and optimize 2 centrifuges, both are basically the same but each one has different inlet feed In terms of components. (please see the mass balance sheet, the centrifuges are highlighted in yellow). so far, we found that decanter centrifuges are the best. we are assuming 95% solids recovery, which is the desired yield for both centrifuges. also, 1 operational year = 8000 hours. I also provided 2 decanters specification sheets, the S6E-3 and the DX-500 are the only ones that can handle the capacity of the process.
each assumption and equation should be referenced as requested by the supervisor. I will include a copy of the preliminary report so you can understand the idea of the process, as well as some references that might be helpful. you can use any reference you find online but it must be valid and provided.
see the grading rubric.
if you have any questions, please ask.
