Mine ventilation and air conditioning
This book presents a comprehensive treatment of mine ventilation in terms of theory and practice. Chapter headings are; control of the mine atmosphere; regulations related to mine ventilation; mine gases; methane drainage; mine dusts; flow of air through mine openings and ducts; basic mine ventilation circuits; instrumentation and air measurements; natural ventilation; mechanical ventilation equipment; ventilation of mines by fans; auxiliary ventilation; economics of airflow; metal mine ventilation; coal mine ventilation; tunnel ventilation; ventilation network theory; application of computers to ventilation; mine fires and explosions; heat in mines; psychrometry, refrigeration, and heat transfer processes; and mine air conditioning systems. Appendices contain reference tables dealing with shock losses, friction losses, and air-water vapor mixtures, a description of the international System of Units, a computer program for mine ventilation network analysis, and answers to the engineering problems found at the end of each chapter. Individual abstracts were prepared for each chapter. 524 references. (CKK)
