Stack tip downwash occurs when

  • A.Exit velocity is very high
  • B.The gas is much hotter than the air
  • C.The stack is unusually tall
  • D.Exit velocity is low against wind speed

Answer: D

Correct answer: Exit velocity is low against wind speed

Stack tip downwash occurs when the gas leaves too slowly relative to the wind. The wind separates round the stack and leaves a low-pressure wake immediately downwind, and a slow plume is drawn into it instead of rising - so the effective stack height falls, sometimes to the physical height or below. Specifying an exit velocity of at least about 1.5 times the design wind speed is what prevents it.
