    EX501U         AIR & WATER POLLUTION CONTROL        Dr C.F. Martín 

       

    TUTORIAL 1. STACK DESIGN AND CALCULATIONS 

    1.1. Calculate the dimensions of a stack through which 82,700 kg/h of combustion gases are passing, 
    and which works with a puff at the combustion chamber of 3.6 cm H2O, and has a puff along the stack 
    height of 0.83 cm H2O. The temperature of the air is 27°C, the temperature of the gases at the bottom 
    of the stack is 343°C, and the average temperature of the gases along the stack is 280°C.  
    The  density  of  the  fluid  which  measures  the  puff  is  996.3  kg/m3;  the  atmospheric  pressure  is 
    750 mm Hg, and the velocity coefficient is 0.4.  
    Note:  the total puff is the theoretical puff. 
     

    Solution: Hg = 83.16 m; D = 1.87 m 

    1.2. At the combustion room 1,362 kg of coal are being spent per hour, and the weight ratio gases/coal 
    is 15/1. The probable puff drop at the combustible fuel bed is equal to 0.38 cm H2O; at the combustion 
    boiler is equal to 0.76 cm H2O; at one of the split pipes is 0.3 cm H2O; and in curved pipes and other 
    paths is 0.14 cm H2O.The expected temperatures are: 26.7°C for the outside air temperature; 287.8°C 
    for the gases at the point they enter into the stack, and 204°C for the average temperature of the 
    gases in the stack. The calculated puff can be assumed to be 0.8 of the theoretical puff, and the velocity 
    coefficient of the gases is equal to 0.35. 
    Calculate the height and the diameter of the required stack, knowing that the atmospheric pressure 
    is 748 mm Hg and the density of the fluid which indicates the puff is 996.1 kg/m3.  
     

    Solution: Hg = 45.69 m; D = 1.19 m 

    1.3. A chimney of 56.39 m of height is able to work during both, the winter and the summer, under 
    the following conditions: average temperature of the combusted gases: 260°C; temperature of the 
    fluid which indicates the puff (H2O), 37.8°C, and barometric pressure of 744.2 mmHg. The temperature 
    of the exterior (or outside air temperature) can be equal to ‐34.4°C in winter and 37.8°C in summer. 
    What  is  the  difference  between  the  possible  theoretical  puff  obtained  in  winter  respect  to  the 
    obtained in summer? 
    Note that the density of water at 310.8K is 994.3 Kg/m3. 
    Solution: hwinter = 441.75 Pa ; hsummer = 255.96 Pa ;  hwinter‐hsummer = 185.79 Pa = 1.9 cm H2O

    1.4. According to the regulation, a 47 meters high stack has been built. The velocity that the gases 
    should have in order to let the stack work properly is 20 m/s. The temperature of the air is 30°C, the 
    average temperature of the gases is 240°C, the pressure is 755 mm Hg, and the density if the indicating 
    fluid is 994.5 kg/m3. Indicate whether it would be necessary to modulate or force the puff, and if so 
    how, as to get the proper working conditions on the plant. 
     
    Solution: Theoretical puff should be increased by 6.52 cm H2O to achieve 20 m/s of gas velocity. 
     
    1.5. A real puff of 20 mm H2O is required to evacuate the fumes from the combustion. A flow rate of 
    5,380 kg/h arrives to the bottom of the steel stack at 320°C. Calculate the stack height knowing that 
    ambient conditions are: Ta = 20°C and Pa = 760 mm Hg.  
     
    Solution: Hg = 43.98 m
