Flare Stack Calculations

This document contains a calculation sheet for flares. It includes user-supplied inputs like total gas flow rate, stack diameter, and stack height. It then lists the gas components in the flow and calculates values like individual gas heat release rates, total heat release rate, and buoyancy flux. Additional numbers are provided for dispersion modeling like equivalent stack temperature and emission rate of SO2.
