The separative effect in a centrifuge is amplified when acountercurrent in the axial direction is added to the centrifugalfield. The mechanisms used to create this countercurrent are obtainedwith the gas deceleration near to the waste scoop, mechanical effect,and temperature distribution on the rotor walls, thermal effect. Thiswork treats the influence of the thermal countercurrent on thecentrifuge separative performance. A complete centrifuge model ispresented, therefore this study passes by the hydro- dynamical andthermal phenomena analysis.
