A stack's exit velocity is usually specified to be at least

  • A.Ten times the wind speed
  • B.1.5 times the design wind speed
  • C.Equal to the wind speed
  • D.Half the wind speed

Answer: B

Correct answer: 1.5 times the design wind speed

Below about 1.5 times the wind speed the plume is drawn into the low-pressure wake behind the stack - stack tip downwash - and the effective height collapses. The rule is a cheap insurance: it costs a little fan power and protects the whole benefit of the stack’s height.
