Mean escape time for a different number of non-interactive molecules calculated for 103 runs. (a) Fluctuations of mean molecular escape time are prominent for small size cavities, while remains constant for a large number of molecules; (b–d) mean escape time for 5, 10, 15 and 20 nm spherical cavities with different entrance-escape holes and number of molecules in the cavity. The mean escape time is independent of the number of molecules and is a function only of the cavity geometry (diameter and entrance-escape hole).
