Vertical speed of emission of effluent from a chimney stack. 3, record 1, English, - efflux%20velocity
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The diameter of a chimney top should be as small as possible in order to increase the efflux velocity of the flue gases. If the efflux velocity is insufficient, the plume tends to flow down the outside of the stack on the lee side and the effective chimney height is thus reduced. Efflux velocities of about 15 m/sec will avoid this downwash. 2, record 1, English, - efflux%20velocity
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Small furnaces or boilers equipped with forced draft fans only should have a chimney efflux velocity of not less than 6 m/sec at full load. 2, record 1, English, - efflux%20velocity
