Explain this phenomena when a fireplace smoke rises up the chimney faster when wind is blowing outside?

Bernoulli's principle - the pressure on the top of the chimney would decrease, due to the speed of the air.Bernoulli's principle - the pressure on the top of the chimney would decrease, due to the speed of the air.Bernoulli's principle - the pressure on the top of the chimney would decrease, due to the speed of the air.Bernoulli's principle - the pressure on the top of the chimney would decrease, due to the speed of the air.

Why does smoke rise up a chimney?

Hot air rises, just as cold air lays low (sinks) to the ground. When a fire ensues, smoke (the product of carbon combustion) rises with the hot air. Chimney design is what keeps smoke from just going anywhere around a fireplace. A chimney uses the principles of rising hot air and acts as funnel. A chimney's flue (the device which controls the amount of air drawn up the chimney) affects the funnel effect dramatically. As hot air rises up the chimney, the fire consumes more oxygen in the room where the fireplace is, creating a vacuum effect, which in turn feeds the flame with even more oxygen faster. It is the combination hot air rising and subsequent vacuum effect in the room below which ensures that smoke from a fireplace fire will go up a chimney. ithout the control of the chimney flue, this effect could quickly lead to a fireplace fire getting too hot for the fireplace to handle. This effect can also be extremely dangerous in a house fire or a building fire in which there are drop ceilings. Some natural building areas, such as stairwells, act as natural chimneys. In office buildings with drop ceilings, it is against fire codes to have any drop ceiling tiles removed, as this can cause a chimney effect if a fire were to break out. Remember since a chimney effect leads to oxygen been fed to a fire at faster rates, the fire can quickly accelerate and consume an area.


Why is there a haphazard motion of smoke particles seen in a smoke cell which is viewed through a microscope?

It's called Brownian motion. It's caused by atoms and molecule zipping about (because of the energy they have as a result of being warm) colliding with the smoke particles and bumping them around. It would happen less if the smoke was very cold because the atoms and molecules would move less. Conversely, if you increased the temperature of the smoke the motion would be greater

Why is the air pressure at the top of the chimney less than the pressure at the bottom?

Smoke rises up the chimney partly because hot air rises and partly because it is pushed wind blowing across the top of a chimney lowers the air pressure there the higher pressure at the bottom pushes air and smoke up the chimney

What is the principle of Electric Chimney?

Electric chimneys are designed for use in the kitchen. They fit over a stove and filter out smoke and oil from cooking. The air that is sucked into the chimney is then released outside the house or business through a duct in the roof.

Why is smoke going in the house and not up the chimney?

A chimney will suck air from the house only if there is wind above the chimney. Air movement at the top causes a partial vacuum in the chimney which pulls the smoke up. The smoke could get into the house due to several reasons: there is no wind above the chimney; the chimney is blocked, the smoke is being directed away from the chimney due to other areas of low pressure in the house. You could probably rectify the problem by raising the chimney so that it catches more wind, cooking closer to the chimney inlet, making chimney diameter wider so that there is less resistance to the passage of smoke.
