How do you calculate gas leaks in space?
 
Astronomy news on Phys.org
What do you mean?
 
As in a specific kind of gas leaking out of a enclosed area in outer space. How do you calculate the rate in which the gas leaks out if the pressure within is 1 atmosphere
 
And the temperature within is about room temperature
 
How big is the hole the gas is leaking from? Tiny hole, long time. Big hole, short time.
