Consider the following statements about plume rise:

1. Buoyancy dominates for a hot combustion plume.

2. Rise falls as wind speed increases.

3. Rise is independent of exit velocity.

Which of the statements given above is or are correct?

  • A.2 and 3 only
  • B.1, 2 and 3
  • C.1 and 2 only
  • D.1 and 3 only

Answer: C

Correct answer: 1 and 2 only

Statements 1 and 2 hold: buoyancy dominates for a hot combustion plume, and rise falls as \(1/u\) with wind speed. Statement 3 is false - exit velocity supplies the momentum term \(v_s d/u\), and for a cold stack it is the only source of rise there is.
