    Stack Height Calculation

    Uploaded by

    Mark Louie
    Stack height is calculated using the formula H=14(Q)^0.33, where H is the height in meters and Q is the quantity of fuel in kg/hr multiplied by the sulfur content percentage divided by 100. For a boiler burning 74,956.87 kg/hr of coal with a maximum sulfur content of 0.5%, the calculated stack height is 335 feet.

    Stack Height CalculationStack height is calculated using following


    formula
    H=14 (Q).33

    Where:
    H = 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%). Or we can use the table below.
    Table No.
    Sulfur Content of Fuels Available in India
    Type of Fuel Percentage Content of Sulfur
    Light Diesel Oil 1.80
    High Speed Diesel 1.00
    Kerosene 0.25
    Furnace Oil 3.00 to 4.00
    LPG 0.10
    Coal 0.50

    Therefore the stack height will be calculated on the basis of


    coal.Coal will  be mainly  used  in the  off-season  operation.
    The maximum quantity of coal that will be burned is 165251.6157
    lb/hr or 74956.87201 kg/hr.
    H=1 4 ¿
    H=102 meters
    3.28084 ft
    H=102 meters x( )
    1m
    H=334.6235 ft

    There fore the height of the stack will be 335ft.
