3. A 10-m³ tank at a temperature of 20°C and pressure of 10 atm contains methane. For some important reasons, a hole with a diameter of 2 cm that is connected with a pipe 12-in long, was made in the tank wall through which the gas is free to escape to the atmosphere. At an adiabatic transformation for the gas: a. Determine the mass velocity of the outgoing flow of methane. b. Determine the time in minutes that is necessary to reduce the pressure inside the tank up to 3 atm. c. Calculate the total mass of gas discharged from tank at 3 atm.
