Advancement of mine ventilation network analysis from art to science. Volume I. Executive summary. Contract research report, 30 June 1973-30 June 1977

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5919692

This volume, the first of a six-volume final report, provides an executive summary of the research and results carried out under a contract from the Bureau of Mines on underground coal mine ventilation. Under the project, a mine ventilation simulator was developed. Sensitivity of leakage and friction factors on the total quantity and pressure requirements was studied. The simulator was applied to a new mine under development, and to an operating mine, to demonstrate the usefulness of the simulator in ventilation planning and in evaluating proposed changes to existing ventilation system.
