Required oil length in separator
Input(s)
\(t_{o}\): Residence Oil Time (min)
\(\mathrm{q}_{\mathrm{o}}\): Oil Rate \(\left(\mathrm{ft}^{3} / \mathrm{m}\right)\)
\(\mathrm{A}_{\mathrm{o}}\): Area of Oil \(\left(\mathrm{ft}^{2}\right)\)
Output(s)
\(L_{o}\): Length Required by Oil Flow (ft)
Formula(s)
\[
\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{o}}=\frac{\mathrm{t}_{\mathrm{o}} * \mathrm{q}_{\mathrm{o}}}{\mathrm{A}_{\mathrm{o}}}
\]
