The data sets on this tape are test data for the computer programs comprising the Master Environmental Control and Mine System Design Simulator for Underground Coal Mining. The programs are on BuMines Tape 1-77 (MDS-5). The Master Design Simulator is completely documented in an 11-volume report available through NTIS (Report No. PB-255 420/AS). These test data correspond to example applications of each of the subsystems of the simulator which are found in the report. The Master Design 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 subsystems 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 to simulate a mining operation.
