hello everybody! I'm discussing since a couples of days with a friend of mine about an pneumo-idraulic energy storage.
The basic concept is to pump oil when there is excess power production fro renewable energy in a direct contact fluid/to gas hydraulic accumulator, in function to pressurize the gas, and get back the energy when is needed in the night time.. the question we can't answer is: how much time it takes, let's say, 1000 liter of hydraulic oil contained ina 1meter cube round tank , to come out form a 10 mm diameter hole, form a initial pressure of 100 bars knowing that the last 100 liters will stay inside the tank? and how much power it can generate? thanks a lot!

Hello everyone, I'm Cosmo. I'm an 18 years old student majoring in physics. I found this forum cause I was searching on Google if it's common for physics student to feel like they're in the wrong major in the first semester cause it feels like too much for me to learn the materials even the ones that are considered as "basic math" or "basic physics", I've initial fascination with the universe's mysteries and it disconnect with the reality of intense, foundational mathematics courses required...
