The GUNT Disc Centrifuge Trainer demonstrates the separation of immiscible liquid mixtures through centrifugal force. The emulsion, typically water and oil, is prepared in a stirred tank with adjustable speed to create a fine, stable dispersion. A pump feeds the emulsion into the center of the rotating centrifuge, where it passes through distributor bases and riser ducts into obliquely arranged disc chambers. Centrifugal force separates the heavier water droplets outward and downward, while the lighter oil droplets move inward and upward, exiting through separate outlets for collection.
