Calculate the plume rise


Response to the following questions:

Q. 1 Calculation of the Effective Stack Height

The wind speed at the top of a stack was measured as 5 m/s, while the stack gas velocity was measured as 8 m/s. The stack has a height of 67 m, and a diameter of 3.5 m. The atmospheric stability condition is unstable, with a temperature of 305 K. The stack temperature is 480.

2) Calculate the buoyancy flux. Show all calculations.

3) Calculate the crossover temperature difference. Show all calculations.

4) Is the plume rise dominated by momentum or by buoyancy? Explain through calculations.

5) Calculate the plume rise. Show all calculations.

6) Calculate the effective stack height. Show all calculations.

Q. 2 The wind speed at the top of a stack and the stack gas velocity were measured as 5 and 7 m/s, respectively. The stack diameter is 3 m with a 55-m physical stack height. The atmospheric stability condition is stable with a temperature of 290 K, and the stack temperature is 475 K. The stability parameter, s, is 0.00068.

1) Is there a possibility of a downwash? Show all calculations.

2) Is there a need to calculate the reduced stack height? If no, explain why? If yes, calculate the reduced stack height?
