What is the lab equipment for separating kerosene water mixture?

The lab equipment commonly used for separating a kerosene-water mixture is a separating funnel. The mixture is poured into the funnel, and due to the immiscibility of kerosene and water, they separate into distinct layers with the denser water sinking to the bottom and the lighter kerosene floating on top. The tap at the bottom of the funnel can then be opened to drain off the water, allowing for the collection of the kerosene.
