I know the dimensions of the compressed tank and I know the fluid properties. How can I find the time needed to empty the tank based on differing exit hole sizes?

This is a classic nozzle flow problem. Too much to try to explain in a message like this. Try"Mechanical Engineering Reference Manual for the PE Exam", by Michael R. Lindeburg.

Good luck,
