A '''flue-gas stack''' is a type of chimney, a vertical pipe, channel or similar structure through which combustion product gases called [[flue gas]]es are exhausted to the outside air. Flue gases are produced when coal, oil, natural gas, wood or any other fuel is [[combustion|combusted]] in an industrial furnace, a [[power station|power plant's]] steam-generating boiler, or other large combustion device. Flue gas is usually composed of [[carbon dioxide]] (CO<sub>2</sub>) and water vapor as well as [[nitrogen]] and excess [[oxygen]] remaining from the intake combustion air. It also contains a small percentage of pollutants such as [[Atmospheric particulate matter|particulate matter]], [[carbon monoxide]], [[nitrogen oxides]] and [[sulfur oxides]]. The flue gas stacks are often quite tall, up to 400 metres (1300 feet) or more, so as to disperse the exhaust pollutants over a greater area and thereby reduce the [[concentration]] of the pollutants to the levels required by governmental environmental policy and environmental regulation. | |||
When the flue gases are exhausted from stoves, ovens, fireplaces, or other small sources within residential abodes, restaurants, hotels, or other public buildings and small commercial enterprises, their flue gas stacks are referred to as chimneys. | |||
==History== | |||
The first industrial chimneys were built in the mid-17th century when it was first understood how they could improve the combustion of a furnace by increasing the [[Stack effect#The flow induced by the stack effect|draft]] of air into the combustion zone.<ref>Douet, James (1988). ''Going up in Smoke:The History of the Industrial Chimney'', Victorian Society, London, England. [http://www.victoriansociety.org.uk/caserpts.html Victorian Society Casework Reports]</ref> As such, they played an important part in the development of [[reverberatory furnace]]s and a coal-based metallurgical industry, one of the key sectors of the early [[Industrial Revolution]]. Most 18th-century industrial chimneys (now commonly referred to as '''flue gas stacks''') were built into the walls of the furnace much like a domestic chimney. The first free-standing industrial chimneys were probably those erected at the end of the long condensing [[flue]]s associated with smelting [[lead]]. | |||
The powerful association between industrial chimneys and the characteristic smoke-filled landscapes of the industrial revolution was due to the universal application of the [[steam engine]] for most manufacturing processes. The chimney is part of a steam-generating boiler, and its evolution is closely linked to increases in the power of the steam engine. The chimneys of [[Thomas Newcomen]]’s steam engine were incorporated into the walls of the engine house. The taller, free-standing industrial chimneys that appeared in the early 19th century were related to the changes in boiler design associated with [[James Watt]]’s "double-powered" engines, and they continued to grow in stature throughout the Victorian period. Decorative embellishments are a feature of many industrial chimneys from the 1860s, with over-sailing caps and patterned brickwork. | |||
The invention of fan-assisted forced draft in the early 20th century removed the industrial chimney's original function, that of drawing air into the steam-generating boilers or other furnaces. With the replacement of the steam engine as a prime mover, first by diesel engines and then by electric motors, the early industrial chimneys began to disappear from the industrial landscape. Building materials changed from stone and brick to steel and later reinforced concrete, and the height of the industrial chimney was determined by the need to disperse combustion flue gases to comply with governmental [[air pollution]] control regulations. | |||
==Flue-gas stack draft== | |||
[[Image:Chimney effect.svg|thumb|180px|right|The stack effect in chimneys: the gauges represent absolute air pressure and the airflow is indicated with light grey arrows. The gauge dials move clockwise with increasing pressure.]] | |||
{{main|Stack effect}} | |||
The combustion flue gases inside the flue gas stacks are much hotter than the ambient outside air and therefore less dense than the ambient air. That causes the bottom of the vertical column of hot flue gas to have a lower pressure than the pressure at the bottom of a corresponding column of outside air. That higher pressure outside the chimney is the driving force that moves the required combustion air into the combustion zone and also moves the flue gas up and out of the chimney. That movement or flow of combustion air and flue gas is called "natural draft", [[HVAC#Natural ventilation|"natural ventilation"]], "chimney effect", or "[[stack effect]]". The taller the stack, the more draft is created. | |||
The equation below provides an approximation of the pressure difference, Δ''P'', (between the bottom and the top of the flue gas stack) that is created by the draft:<ref>[http://www.arch.hku.hk/teaching/lectures/airvent/sect02.htm Natural Ventilation Lecture 2]</ref><ref>{{cite book|author=Perry, R.H. and Green, Don W.|title=Perry's Chemical Engineers' Handbook|edition=6th Edition (page 9-72)|publisher=McGraw-Hill Book Company|year=1984|isbn=0-07-049479-7}}</ref> | |||

The above equation is an approximation because it assumes that the [[molar mass]] of the flue gas and the outside air are equal and that the pressure drop through the flue gas stack is quite small. Both assumptions are fairly good but not exactly accurate. | |||
== Flue-gas flow-rate induced by the draft== | |||
As a "first guess" approximation, the following equation can be used to estimate the flue-gas flow-rate induced by the draft of a flue-gas stack. The equation assumes that the molar mass of the flue gas and the outside air are equal and that the [[friction|frictional resistance]] and heat losses are negligible:.<ref>[http://www.arch.hku.hk/teaching/lectures/airvent/sect03.htm Natural Ventilation Lecture 3]</ref> | |||

Also, this equation is only valid when the resistance to the draft flow is caused by a single orifice characterized by the discharge coefficient C. In many, if not most situations, the resistance is primarily imposed by the flue stack itself. In these cases, the resistance is proportional to the stack height H. This causes a cancellation of the H in the above equation predicting Q to be invariant with respect to the flue height. | |||
Designing chimneys and stacks to provide the correct amount of natural draft involves a great many factors such as: | |||
* The height and diameter of the stack. | |||
* The desired amount of excess combustion air needed to assure complete combustion. | |||
* The temperature of the flue gases leaving the combustion zone. | |||
* The composition of the combustion flue gas, which determines the flue-gas density. | |||
* The frictional resistance to the flow of the flue gases through the chimney or stack, which will vary with the materials used to construct the chimney or stack. | |||
* The heat loss from the flue gases as they flow through the chimney or stack. | |||
* The local atmospheric pressure of the ambient air, which is determined by the local elevation above sea level. | |||
The calculation of many of the above design factors requires trial-and-error reiterative methods. | |||
Government agencies in most countries have specific codes which govern how such design calculations must be performed. Many non-governmental organizations also have codes governing the design of chimneys and stacks (notably, the [[American Society of Mechanical Engineers|ASME]] codes). | |||
==Stack design== | |||
The design of large stacks poses considerable engineering challenges. [[Vortex shedding]] in high winds can cause dangerous [[oscillations]] in the stack, and may lead to its collapse. The use of helical faring is common to prevent this process occurring at or close to the [[resonant frequency]] of the stack. | |||
==Other items of interest== | |||
Some fuel-burning industrial equipment does not rely upon natural draft. Many such equipment items use large fans or blowers to accomplish the same objectives, namely: the flow of combustion air into the combustion chamber and the flow of the hot flue gas out of the chimney or stack. | |||
A great many power plants are equipped with facilities for the removal of [[sulfur dioxide]] (i.e., [[flue-gas desulfurization]]), [[nitrogen oxides]] (i.e., [[selective catalytic reduction]], [[exhaust gas recirculation]], thermal deNOx, or low NOx burners) and particulate matter (i.e., [[electrostatic precipitator]])s. At such power plants, it is possible to use a [[cooling tower]] as a flue gas stack. Examples can be seen in Germany at the [[Power Station Staudinger Grosskrotzenburg]] and at the [[Rostock Power Station]]. Power plants without flue gas purification, would experience serious corrosion in such stacks. | |||

Flue-gas stack draft
Mining Engineer (Excluding Oil ) Truman from Alma, loves to spend time knotting, largest property developers in singapore developers in singapore and stamp collecting. Recently had a family visit to Urnes Stave Church.
The combustion flue gases inside the flue gas stacks are much hotter than the ambient outside air and therefore less dense than the ambient air. That causes the bottom of the vertical column of hot flue gas to have a lower pressure than the pressure at the bottom of a corresponding column of outside air. That higher pressure outside the chimney is the driving force that moves the required combustion air into the combustion zone and also moves the flue gas up and out of the chimney. That movement or flow of combustion air and flue gas is called "natural draft", "natural ventilation", "chimney effect", or "stack effect". The taller the stack, the more draft is created.
The equation below provides an approximation of the pressure difference, ΔP, (between the bottom and the top of the flue gas stack) that is created by the draft:[2][3]
where: ΔP = available pressure difference, in Pa C = 0.0342 a = atmospheric pressure, in Pa h = height of the flue gas stack, in m To = absolute outside air temperature, in K Ti = absolute average temperature of the flue gas inside the stack, in K
The above equation is an approximation because it assumes that the molar mass of the flue gas and the outside air are equal and that the pressure drop through the flue gas stack is quite small. Both assumptions are fairly good but not exactly accurate.
Flue-gas flow-rate induced by the draft
As a "first guess" approximation, the following equation can be used to estimate the flue-gas flow-rate induced by the draft of a flue-gas stack. The equation assumes that the molar mass of the flue gas and the outside air are equal and that the frictional resistance and heat losses are negligible:.[4]
where: | |
Q | = flue-gas flow-rate, m³/s |
---|---|
A | = cross-sectional area of chimney, m² (assuming it has a constant cross-section) |
C | = discharge coefficient (usually taken to be 0.65–0.70) |
g | = gravitational acceleration at sea level, 9.807 m/s² |
H | = height of chimney, m |
Ti | = absolute average temperature of the flue gas in the stack, K |
To | = absolute outside air temperature, K |
Also, this equation is only valid when the resistance to the draft flow is caused by a single orifice characterized by the discharge coefficient C. In many, if not most situations, the resistance is primarily imposed by the flue stack itself. In these cases, the resistance is proportional to the stack height H. This causes a cancellation of the H in the above equation predicting Q to be invariant with respect to the flue height.
Designing chimneys and stacks to provide the correct amount of natural draft involves a great many factors such as:
- The height and diameter of the stack.
- The desired amount of excess combustion air needed to assure complete combustion.
- The temperature of the flue gases leaving the combustion zone.
- The composition of the combustion flue gas, which determines the flue-gas density.
- The frictional resistance to the flow of the flue gases through the chimney or stack, which will vary with the materials used to construct the chimney or stack.
- The heat loss from the flue gases as they flow through the chimney or stack.
- The local atmospheric pressure of the ambient air, which is determined by the local elevation above sea level.
The calculation of many of the above design factors requires trial-and-error reiterative methods.
Government agencies in most countries have specific codes which govern how such design calculations must be performed. Many non-governmental organizations also have codes governing the design of chimneys and stacks (notably, the ASME codes).

The design of large stacks poses considerable engineering challenges. Vortex shedding in high winds can cause dangerous oscillations in the stack, and may lead to its collapse. The use of helical faring is common to prevent this process occurring at or close to the resonant frequency of the stack.
Other items of interest
Some fuel-burning industrial equipment does not rely upon natural draft. Many such equipment items use large fans or blowers to accomplish the same objectives, namely: the flow of combustion air into the combustion chamber and the flow of the hot flue gas out of the chimney or stack.
A great many power plants are equipped with facilities for the removal of sulfur dioxide (i.e., flue-gas desulfurization), nitrogen oxides (i.e., selective catalytic reduction, exhaust gas recirculation, thermal deNOx, or low NOx burners) and particulate matter (i.e., electrostatic precipitator)s.
