    Pressure Vessel getting punctured with small hole - Trying to find rate of pressure release

    Thank you brimstoner and LittleInch for your replies. Yes, I believe I have the correct data. And no, this is not a take home exam. My recollection of pressure vessel topics is a bit foggy because it's been 15 years since I graduated college and I have not had to use it in my particular...

    Pressure Vessel getting punctured with small hole - Trying to find rate of pressure release

    I have a pressure vessel with a known pressure. The pressure vessel is made from 7050 aluminum, 0.125" sheet thickness. The pressure vessel is suddenly punctured, with a known hole size. I am trying to determine the rate of pressure decrease after the puncture occurs. I would like to plot...
