A = cross-sectional area of chimney, m 2 (assuming it has a constant cross-section) C = discharge coefficient (usually taken to be from 0.65 to 0.70) g = gravitational acceleration, 9.807 m/s 2; H = height of chimney, m; T i = average temperature inside the chimney, K; T e = external air temperature, K.
A: cross-sectional area of chimney, m 2 (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; T i : absolute average temperature of the flue gas in the stack, K; T o : absolute outside air temperature, K
A double chimney (or double stack, double smokestack in American English) is a form of chimney for a steam locomotive, where the conventional single opening is duplicated, together with the blastpipe beneath it. Although the internal openings form two circles, the outside appearance usually forms a single elongated oval.
Examples include Kaprun tunnel fire, King's Cross underground station fire and the Grenfell Tower fire, as a result of which 72 people died. [4] The latter of these was in part exacerbated by the stack effect, when a cavity between the outer aluminium cladding and the inner insulation inadvertently formed a chimney and drew the fire upwards.

This is done with stainless steel chimney liners. A stainless-steel chimney flue liner protects the chimney walls from wear and tear and stops carbon monoxide leaks and other dangerous combustion product leaks. Stainless-steel chimney liners have surface and proper sizing to prevent creosote from sticking around. If the chimney already has a ...
Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, tall chimneys were built, at the beginning with bricks, and later also of concrete or steel.Although chimneys never held the absolute height record, they are among the tallest free-standing architectural structures and often hold national records (as tallest free-standing or as overall tallest structures of a country).
An exploded-view drawing is a diagram, picture, schematic or technical drawing of an object, that shows the relationship or order of assembly of various parts. [ 1 ] It shows the components of an object slightly separated by distance, or suspended in surrounding space in the case of a three- dimensional exploded diagram.
