Reduce the methane hazards in collieries, vol. 1.

Abstract

In an effort to improve safety in the underground environment of a mechanical miner section, with relation to the methane hazard a data obtained with the multi-channel methane monitoring unit, combined with situ and laboratory coal analysis data was used as an inputs to generate computational fluid dynamic(CFD) simulations for investigation into underground ventilation set up. The CFD simulations proved to be representatives of underground conditions.
