Stack Height-Calculations PDF

The document outlines a formula to calculate the height of a chimney stack based on the quantity of fuel burned per hour and its sulfur content. It provides an example calculation using a fuel quantity of 18.8 tons per hour of coal with 0.5% sulfur, determining the required stack height is 67.4 meters and should be 70 meters.

Stack Height Calculation

Stack height is calculated using following formula

H = 14 (Q) 0.3

H is height of Chimney

Q = Quantity of fuel (kg/hr) x sulphur content (%) x 2


100
The sulphur content in the bagasse is negligible (around 0.1 %) as
compared to Indian coal (maximum considered of 0.5%). Therefore the
stack height will be calculated on the basis of coal.

Coal will be mainly used in the off-season operation. Maximum


quantity of coal that will be burned is 18.8 TPH.

H = 14 (18800 x 0.5 x 2) 0.3


100
= 67.4 meters

There fore the height of the stack will be 70 meters.
