Hi. Just looking for an average answer to a practical scenario. At work we use a liquid O2 cylinder which includes an outer jacket that houses a regulated gas pressure of 24 bar. I need to calculate the flow rate in l/min when the supply tap (15mm diameter) is open fully?
This is essentially maximum flow with no resistance and maximum pressure difference. Hypothetically just opening that tap into the environment at sea level.
Hope this is enough info..

Here is a calculator for nozzle flow on the above website that may be more appropriate for your situation.
