Time Dependent Gas Leak Outflow Through Hole

This document summarizes calculations for the outflow of hydrogen gas through a hole from a pressurized container. Key details include: - The container initially holds hydrogen gas at 50 bar and 15°C - It has a 0.1m diameter hole and releases gas over 30 seconds - Calculations were performed for 50 time steps to model changing pressure, temperature, density, and flow rate over time - Results show the pressure and gas density decrease over time inside the container as more mass is released, while the flow rate gradually declines from an initial 15.25 kg/s to a final rate of 11.98 kg/s at 30 seconds.
