No lei, to get dwell time in one step calculation.
Take your example, turn over rate = 5000 l/h, volume of skimmer = 50 L
Dwell time = Volume of skimmer / turn over rate.
L / (L/hr) = 50 / 5000 = 0.01 hrs
= 0.01*3600
= 36sec.
So you will know the exact skimmer turnover rate as well as dwell time in 1 single calculation. Yours requires 2 step lol... actually both of us are right lar just yours 1 step more.
