Stack Exit Velocity Formula
The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Stack Exit Velocity.
SEV = VFR / (pi*D^2/4)
Variables:
- SEV is the Stack Exit Velocity (ft/min)
- VFR is the stack volumetric flow rate (ft^3/min)
- D is the stack diameter (ft)
To calculate the stack exit velocity, divide the stack volumetric flow rate by the stack area.
How to Calculate Stack Exit Velocity?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Stack Exit Velocity.
- First, determine the stack volumetric flow rate (ft^3/min).
- Next, determine the stack diameter (ft).
- Next, gather the formula from above = SEV = VFR / (pi*D^2/4).
- Finally, calculate the Stack Exit Velocity.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem :
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
stack volumetric flow rate (ft^3/min) = 300
stack diameter (ft) = 4
SEV = VFR / (pi*D^2/4) = ?
