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)

$$ \mathrm{t}_{\mathrm{w}}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{h}_{\mathrm{o}}}{60 * \mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{w}}}\right) $$
