    What Size Hole Causes a 2 kPa Pressure Drop in a 500L Vessel?

    Thanks Filip, Having difficulty hitting the 0.03mm2 Just to ensure I am correct... p(0) is ambient pressure = 100000 Pa (kg m-1 s-1) p (t) is absolute tank pressure = 180000 Pa (kg m-1 s-1) t is time = 3600s For the third equation... V is tank volume = 0.5 cubic metres m is...

    What Size Hole Causes a 2 kPa Pressure Drop in a 500L Vessel?

    Thank you for your responses. I proposed solving the problem in the following manner... I broke it into 3 basic steps. 1. I firstly needed to find out how much air is lost from the vessel when the pressure drops 2kPa. I calculated the density of air at 1.8 bar and then at 1.78 bar. I...

    What Size Hole Causes a 2 kPa Pressure Drop in a 500L Vessel?

    Hi there, I have been asked by my boss to the following question... I have a vessel (500L) that is pressurised to 0.8 barg. That vessel is then held at that pressure for an hour (It is a pressure hold test on the vessel). Over the course of that hour the pressure drops by 2 kPa. He has...
