a centrifge is a piece of equipment used to separate a mixture of miscible
and or non-miscible liquids into its basic components based on density.
The mixed liquid is placed into a container and rapidly spun about. The contents
of the container are therby subjected to a centrifugal force. This forces moves
the denser components of the mixture towards the outer wall of the container.
