i think you must have meant to substitute the ideal gas law where one on the centrifugal forces is, as you have it the r.omega^2's just cancel out. another way to say it, the difference in pressure difference across the layer must be caused by the force on the layer (area cancels, i think) so...

i am interested in the solution, did you find one? FWIW i don't see what Boltzmann's dist has to do with it, can't you just integrate the ideal gas law with an acceleration correction? i think it makes a lot of difference if the centrifuge is open or closed at the top, having the...
