Flow Rate of Liquid O2 Cylinder w/ 24 Bar Pressure

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the flow rate of liquid oxygen from a cylinder with a 24 bar pressure, it is essential to consider the maximum flow scenario with no resistance. The discussion emphasizes that the gas is being vented, not the liquid oxygen itself. Relevant formulas and tools for calculating flow rates, including resistance factors, are provided through external links. Utilizing a nozzle flow calculator may yield more accurate results for this specific setup. Accurate calculations are crucial for safe and efficient operation in practical scenarios.

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..
