Whole milk is flowing into a centrifuge through a full 6.5 cm diameter pipe at a velocity of 0.19 m/s. The milk is separated to skim milk and cream with specific gravity of 1.04 and 1.01, respectively. Calculate the flow velocity of cream, if skim milk and cream are discharged through 3 and 4 cm diameter pipes, respectively. The specific gravity of whole milk is 1.035.
