I am working on a project to remove cutting oil from waste metal chips. I need to know the retationship between viscous force of oil and centrifugal force required to remove oil from chips, so that I can calculate the RPM

There are numerous companies that make separators that remove oil from metal chips. Get some of their literature to find how they do it. Good search terms are remove oil from metal chips or reclaim oil from metal chips. Another good resource is to do a patent search on removing oil from metal chips.
