Wind at stack height is \( 9 \) m/s. The minimum exit velocity to avoid stack tip downwash is

  • A.4.5 m/s
  • B.18.0 m/s
  • C.13.5 m/s
  • D.9.0 m/s

Answer: C

Correct answer: 13.5 m/s

The usual rule is an exit velocity of at least 1.5 times the wind speed at stack height:

\[ v_{min} = 1.5 \times 9 = 13.5\ \text{m/s} \]

Below that the plume is liable to be drawn into the stack’s own wake.
