What is Chimney Height?

Chimney height is the vertical distance from the base of a chimney to its top. It is an important design parameter that affects the dispersion of pollutants in the atmosphere. The height of a chimney is determined based on several factors, including the type of fuel used, the rate of fuel consumption, the sulfur content of the fuel, and local environmental regulations. Proper chimney height is crucial for minimizing the impact of emissions on air quality and ensuring compliance with environmental standards.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ H = 14 + (5.5 \times \sqrt{100 \times \frac{2}{100}}) = 14 + (5.5 \times \sqrt{2}) \approx 14 + 7.78 = 21.78 \text{ meters} \]

The Chimney Height is approximately 21.78 meters.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ H = 14 + (5.5 \times \sqrt{200 \times \frac{3}{100}}) = 14 + (5.5 \times \sqrt{6}) \approx 14 + 13.47 = 27.47 \text{ meters} \]

The Chimney Height is approximately 27.47 meters.
