Textbook- Chemical Process Safety 5th ed.
Chapter 4.
The following question asks for a mass flux rate for a tank leak, but the size of the hole or oriface is not provided. All formulas in chapter 4 require an area A. Is there a way to solve this problem without the hole size?
Calculate the mass flux (kg/m2-s) for the following tank leaks given that the storage pressure is equal to the vapor pressure at 25°C:
