In this report, the application of the Penn State Mine Ventilation Simulator (PSU/MVS) program is demonstrated through the use of a simple but realistic mine ventilation program. The report details, the problem description, the input data required, and the various output features of the simulator. The PSU/MVS program is written in Fortran IV for use with IBM 370/168 computers. A version of the program that can be used in CDC computers is also available. A ventilation network consisting of 531 branches, 300 nodes, and 5 fans took 48 seconds for solution on The Pennsylvania State University's IBM 370/168 computer.
