Oxygen is supplied to an astronaut through an umbilical hose that is 7 m long. The pressure in the oxygen tank is 200 kPa at a temperature of 108C, and the pressure in the space suit is 20 kPa. If the umbilical hose has an equivalent roughness of 0.01 mm, what should the hose diameter be to supply oxygen at a rate of 0.05 kg/s? If the suit springs a leak and the pressure drops to zero, at what rate will the oxygen escape?
