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