Dimensionalization for that constant is quite nice, as it can easily be converted from one system of units to the other once you know it's units—just verify this in Google if you don't believe me! :)

==Stack effect in flue gas stacks and chimneys==

The stack effect in industrial flue gas stacks is similar to that in buildings, except that it involves hot [[flue]] gases having large temperature differences with the ambient outside air. Furthermore, an industrial flue gas stack typically provides little obstruction for the flue gas along its length and is, in fact, normally optimized to enhance the stack effect to reduce fan energy requirements.
