AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the rate of air flow from a room experiencing explosive decompression due to a one cubic meter hole in a wall leading to a vacuum. The room dimensions are 8x12x3 meters, with an initial pressure of 1 atm. Key considerations include the volume of air inside the room and the pressure differential created by the vacuum outside. The participants seek methods to determine how quickly the room would reach vacuum conditions, referencing external resources for calculations. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for accurately simulating such scenarios in game development.

Hey! Making a game.

Say we have a room of 8*12*3 meters. It has the pressure of 1 atm and suddenly there's a hole of one cubic meter in a wall and outside it's space vacuum.

Don't know if it counts how much air is inside the room or if that would be measured in pressure, say we have enough oxygen for one person in a 8*12*3 room.

How fast would it reach space vacuum from Earth pressure? Is there some way to calculate from the volume of the room (m x m x 3, say it's always 3 meters tall ceiling) and always one cubic meter hole (some standard flowrate) with some kind of standard volume of air inside the room?

Explosive decompression.

comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...
