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)

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