Liquid height over a circular weir in a cenrifugal field has been measured as a function of the flow over the weir for baffle configurations of great practical importance in the design of centrifugal contractors for solvent extraction. An existing correlation was tested and extended so that it can now be used for both baffle designs. The baffle design in which the baffle ends at the same radius as the weir, i.e., a baffle flush with the weir, is superior because, when Coriolis effects are significant, the liquid height over the weir is less affected by flow rate.
