THIS PROBLEM WAS MOVED FROM GENERAL PHYSICS TO THIS FORUM BECAUSE OF ITS HOMEWORK-LIKE NATURE. SO THERE IS NO TEMPLATE.
Pressure vessel has a electrical (coiled) furnace inside.
A pressure vessel @ 550 bar @ 500 C containing argon has its gas inlet pipe (1 inch ext Diameter) that has come loose and become exposed.
Temperature is not constant as the heat shield contains heat and heat loss by gas convection/conduction becomes inadequate as pressure is lost.
Calculate the maximum flow of argon through the hole.
What assumptions will i need to make? and what equations do i use?
Much apprecieated

Edit:
Volume of argon is fixed
system is a closed prior to rupture
