I could not find an easy or believable source on this question on the internet. Anyway, if I had a box (volume V) in space full of gas (density N) and a hole suddenly appeared, how long would it take all of the air to completely leave the box out into space? I would assume the air would be at regular pressure P, temperature T, and made up of air density as normal on Earth. The hole in the box it leaks out would have area A. Even just pointing me to a good, basic, article would be helpful.
