Refresh my memory: gas leak from cylinder?

[LaSalle1940]

Seems to me that recently there was a thread here that described the method for calculation of the rate of flow for a pressurized gas leaking from a cylinder (e.g., as the result of some sort of accident). A search of the forums by keyword didn't yield pertinent results that I could see. Not wanting to re-invent the wheel, does anyone recall such a thread/know of a handy reference for this situation? Thanks.

I think you are referring to thread798-101052

Good luck,

If you want the initial instantaneous flow, you will find the methodology at www.air-dispersion.com/source.html

If you want a more detailed, time-dependent methodology, you will find it at www.air-dispersion.com/feature2.html

Thanks to all for refreshing my memory: I knew I'd seen this general subject here recently but couldn't recall the specifics.
