A master environmental control and mine system design simulator for underground coal mining. Software
The computer programs on this tape comprise The Master Environmental Control and Mine System Design Simulator for Underground Coal Mining. This simulator is completely documented in an 11-volume report available through NTIS (PB-255 420/AS). The Simulator has a wide range of possible applications in the design and evaluation of underground coal mining systems from the standpoints of health and safety, productivity, and mine environment. It consists of nine free-standing function-oriented subsystem models linked together into an integrated, comprehensive model of an entire mining system. The subsystems which make up the Simulator are Geology and Reserves, Methane Generation, Roof Support, Subsidence, Production, Rail Haulage, Cost, Water Generation and Ventilation. In addition to these, there is a Dynamic subsystem in which the production, rail haulage, methane generation and roof support subsystems function interactively on a continuous basis during the simulation of a mining operation. Test data for each of the programs found on this tape are available on BuMines Tape 2-77 (MDS-8). These test data correspond to example applications of each of the subsystems found in the report. The system is written in the Fortran programming language for implementation on an IBM 370/168 computer using the OS version, MVT level operating system. Currently, largest required core storage is 560K bytes, depending on program used. However, fully resident may require 750K bytes of core storage.
