Residence time oil in separator
Input(s)
\(h_{w}\): Height of Water Column in Separator (ft)
\(\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{o}}\): Terminal Velocity of Water ( \(\mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{min}\) )
Output(s)
\(t_{o}\): Oil Residence Time (min)
Formula(s)
\[
\mathrm{t}_{\mathrm{o}}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{h}_{\mathrm{w}}}{60 * \mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{o}}}\right)
\]
