Assume the following:
Three gas cylinders each filled to half working pressure.
Tank 1 has EAN25.
Tank 2 has EAN50
Tank 3 has EAN75
All three are connected together with a standard whips. Assume ID of 1/8".
Whips are turned on simultaneously.
How long before the gas diffuses between all three tanks until EAN50 is achieved in all three? Obviously the diameter and length of the whips are the most important variables here. If the ID of the whip is the same as the ID of the tank, equilibrium will be established almost immediately. But we're trying to contemplate a real life working situation.
I'm a mathematician and my buddy is an engineer. We've struggled unsuccessfully trying to establish some kind of formula to establish diffusion patterns. Anyone out there in "Fluid Dynamic land " have any ideas?
