Since the radial acceleration functions simply as an amplified gravitational acceleration, the particles settle toward the bottom -that is, toward the circumference of the rotor-if the particle density is greater than that of the supporting medium. A distance r from the axis of rotation, the radial acceleration is given by co r, where co is the angular velocity in radians per second. The midpoint of an ultracentrifuge cell is typically about 6.5 cm from the axis of rotation, so at 10,000, 20,000, and 40,000 rpm, respectively, the accelerations are 7.13 X 10, 2.85 X 10 , and 1.14 X 10 m sec" or 7.27 X 10, 2.91 X 10, and 1.16 X 10 times the acceleration of gravity (g s). 

Equation 26 is accurate only when the Hquids rotate at the same angular velocity as the bowl. As the Hquids move radially inward or outward these must be accelerated or decelerated as needed to maintain soHd-body rotation. The radius of the interface, r, is also affected by the radial height of the Hquid crest as it passes over the discharge dams, and these crests must be considered at higher flow rates. 

Angle, Angular Velocity, and Angular Acceleration. Thek SI units are rad, rad/s, and rad/s, respectively. Because the radian is here taken to be dimensionless, the units 1, 1/s, and 1/s are also used where appropriate. 

Centripetal Acceleration. Centripetal acceleration, /r or CO r, where is the tangential linear velocity (m/s), rthe radius (m), and CO the angular velocity (rad/s), is, like any other linear acceleration, measured in SI units m/s. Centripetal force, equal to mass times centripetal acceleration, is, like any force in SI, measured in newtons. 

Rotary atomisation produces the most uniform atomisation of any of the aforementioned techniques, and produces the smallest maximum particle sise. It is almost always used with electrostatics and at lower rotational speeds the electrostatics assist the atomisation. At higher rotational speeds the atomisation is principally mechanical in nature and does not depend on the electrical properties of the coating material. If the viscosity of a coating material is sufficiendy low that it can be deUvered to a rotary atomiser, the material can generally be atomised. The prime mover is usually an ak-driven turbine and, provided that the turbine has the requked power to accelerate the material to the angular velocity, Hquid-dow rates of up to 1000 cm /min can be atomised using an 8-cm diameter beU. 

Angular acceleration is the time rate of change of angular velocity which, in turn, is the time rate of change of angular displacement. 

For rotational motion, as illustrated in Figure 2-6b, a completely analogous set of equations and solutions are given in the bottom half of Table 2-5. There to is called the angular velocity and has units of radians/s, and a is called angular acceleration and has units of radians/s. ... 

When looking for the velocities of points on a rigid body, the method of instantaneous centers can often be used. If the velocity of two points on the body are known, those points and all other points on the body can be considered to be rotating with the same angular velocity about some motionless central point. This central point is called the instantaneous center of zero velocity. The instantaneous center generally moves through space as a function of time and has acceleration. It does not represent a point about which acceleration may be determined. 

Angular velocity of the driving mechanism = 2nN radians/s Acceleration of piston — 0.5 x 0.230(2 rA)2 cos(2ttNi) m/s2 Maximum acceleration (when t — 0) = 4.54A 2 mAr Maximum acceleration of the liquid in the suction pipe... 

In Chapter 6.4, J. Chomiak and J. Jarosinski discuss the mechanism of flame propagation and quenching in a rofating cylindrical vessel. They explain the observed phenomenon of quenching in ferms of the formation of fhe so-called Ekman layers, which are responsible for the detachment of flames from the walls and the reduction of fheir width. Reduction of the flame speed with increasing angular velocity of rofation is explained in terms of free convection effects driven by centrifugal acceleration. 

We see that the acceleration in the inertial frame P can be represented in terms of the acceleration, components of the velocity and coordinates of the point p in the rotating frame, as well as the angular velocity. This equation is one more example of transformation of the kinematical parameters of a motion, and this procedure does not have any relationship to Newton s laws. Let us rewrite Equation (2.37) in the form... 

Here fo is the acceleration of the origin 0, and since 0 moves in a circle with constant angular velocity co = coK, we have... 

Consider an open bucket of water resting on a turntable that is rotating at an angular velocity on (see Fig. 4-5). The (inward) radial acceleration due to the rotation is o r, which results in a corresponding radial pressure gradient at all points in the fluid, in addition to the vertical pressure gradient due to gravity. Thus the pressure differential between any two points within the fluid separated by dr and dz is... 

This also applies to a body submerged in a fluid that is subject to any acceleration. For example, a solid particle of volume Vs submerged in a fluid within a centrifuge at a point r where the angular velocity is on is subjected to a net radial force equal to Ap on2rVs. Thus, the effect of buoyancy is to effectively reduce the density of the body by an amount equal to the density of the surrounding fluid. 

If the concentration profile can be determined the moduli can be evaluated. In principle there is no reason why this should be a non-linear measurement, it depends upon the magnitude of the gravitational Peclet number. Buscall35 suggested that a low speed centrifuge could be used to apply different acceleration gradients to the dispersion. If the angular velocity of the rotor is cor and if X is the distance from the centre of the rotor to the top of the sediment then the pressure balance equation becomes... 

In the case of a centrifugal separator (i.e., a centrifuge), the acceleration due to centrifugal force, which should be used in place ofg, is given as ra>, where r is the radial distance from the central rotating axis (m) and co is the angular velocity of rotation (radian s -). Thus, the terminal velocity Vj (ms ) is given as... 

The symmetry of the stress tensor can be established using a relatively straightforward argument. The essence of the argument is that if the stress tensor were not symmetric, then finite shearing stresses would accelerate the angular velocity w of a differential fluid packet without bound—something that obviously cannot happen.
