This book was released on 2016-06-27 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on the Gases Met With in Coal Mines and the General Principles of Ventilation The following remarks were written in the hope that some or other of them might prove of service in conveying to the merely practical miner a general knowledge of the laws and principles of ventilation, as applied to mines, and of the nature and properties, 'chemical and physical, of our atmosphere, as well as those of some of the gases most frequently encountered in coal mines. They were not intended to have been communicated to this or any similar institution, or thcy would, in all probability, not only have been put into somewhat different language, but would also have placed some of the matters to which they refer in a more purely scientific point of view. But, after all, such an alteration would, perhaps, have rendered them less useful than it is hoped they may prove to the particular class of persons for whom they were written, such as underviewers, overmen, deputy-overmen, and even workmen who may wish to fit themselves for assuming any of these offices; and, at the request of my colleague, your present President, I venture to submit them to your notice.

Download or read book Mine Gases and Ventilation Classic Reprint written by James Thom Beard and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mine Gases and Ventilation Any one who has been closely associated with the practical operation of coal mines will realize quickly the need of technical knowledge relating to the safe and economical production of coal. In no department of the work is this need more urgent than in the ventilation of the mine. A knowledge of the properties and behavior of the gases found or generated in the mine, and the means for effecting their safe removal or rendering them harmless are of chief importance, requiring careful study combined with practical experience in the operation of mines. Experience, without a knowledge of the theory of mining, is little better than is the possession of such knowledge by one who has had no experience in the practical work. Experience and knowledge must go hand in hand. The problems relating air, gases, ventilation, safety lamps, breathing apparatus, rescue work, gas and dust explosions in mines are treated in a thoroughly practical manner, while at the same time showing their correct solution. Formulas must always play an important part in mine ventilation and their treatment is made as simple as possible. No effort has been spared to make this volume a standard of ventilating practice. With this end in view, the various constants used have been carefully selected and are those most generally adopted. Particularly is this true of the tables of weight and measures and the conversion tables relating to the common and metric systems given in the Addenda. Their use is recommended. The present volume, which replaces the little booklet issued by Coal Age, some time previous, under the same title, will be recognized as a second edition of that handbook, though greatly enlarged by the addition of whole new sections on Safety Lamps, Oils, Breathing Apparatus, Rescue Work and numerous tables, making it a complete treatise on the subject.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ventilation of Mines Enlargement of air-courses and splitting of the air-currents have been recommended as the most suitable mode of increasing the amount of ventilation, as well as the most economical means of distribution. Hitherto splitting of air has not been much resorted to in Scotland, although in other mining dis tricts it has been found to be the chief improvement in oh taining increased quantity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mine-Ventilation Stoppings: With Especial Reference to Coal Mines in Illinois The foregoing discussion of renewals deals with the depreciation of stoppings through normal mining conditions. There are, however, extraordinary agencies that destroy stoppings, some of these agencies partly or wholly wrecking certain types of stoppings and yet in no Way injuring other types. Such agencies are: Fires, windy shots, blown-out shots, explosions, local roof falls, general mine squeezes, and water. In order to obtain the annual expense for emergency repairs on the different kinds of mine stoppings, information was obtained from coal operators regarding the number of stoppings and the cost of repairs each year because of these extraordinary agencies. The quotient obtained by dividing the total cost by the number of stop pings ih use at the particular mine was charged to each stopping as the a1mual cost of emergency repairs. For example, at one mine the records showed that 18 stoppings were destroyed by windy or blown out shots; the cost of each repair averaged the total cost was and, as stoppings were in use, the expense to be dis tributed over each stopping was 12 cents per annum. A compilation of the information obtained on the annual expense required for emergency repairs is given in Table 7 following.

Download or read book Methane Accumulations From Interrupted Ventilation written by Howard I. Smith and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-26 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Methane Accumulations From Interrupted Ventilation: With Special Reference to Coal Mines in Illinois and Indiana The mining laws Of many States provide that when ventilation is interrupted in mines in which methane is generated the men. In the workings affected, especially if open lights are used there, shall be gotten out as quickly as possible. There are many mines or sections Of a mine in which only a small quantity Of methane is generated and where, under regular conditions of ventilation, it is so diffused with the air as not to be detectable with a safety lamp. These places are considered nongaseous and Often no concern is felt if the ventilation is interrupted even for several hours at a time. That locally in such mines there may be dangerous accumulations of methane within a short time if the air current is stopped is indi cated by the tests described in this paper. In three mines, two in southern Illinois and one in Indiana, samples Of mine air were collected and analyzed from working places where no methane had been reported by the mine examiner. By stopping the air current during the tests any accumulation Of methane through this interrupted ventilation was detected. The results show a8 methane accumulations from interrupted ventilation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Underground Ventilation at Butte This bulletin on underground ventilation in the copper and zinc mines at Butte, Mont, was written in 1919 from data collected by Mr. Harrington during 1916, 1917, and 1918, when he and Dr. Lanza of the United States Public Health Service were engaged on a study of miners' consumption in mines of the Butte district. Largely on account of conditions arising from the World War, publication was deferred until this date, and its issuance now is because of the fact that it contains much up-to-date general information on ventilation in metal mines, though many of the Specific underground conditions described have since been materially changed.

Download or read book Mining and Mine Ventilation written by Joseph James Walsh and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mining and Mine Ventilation: A Practical Handbook on the Physics All the general features contained in the first edition which students and others interested in the physics and chemistry of mining and mine ventilation, commended, have been retained in this revised edition. The chapters dealing with gases and mine ventilation have undergone revision, and new material added. The chapter treating of the sampling and analysis of mine gases is new, and has been written to supply a need which has arisen in teaching gas analysis and also to meet the growing demand for a more thorough knowledge of this branch of mining. In this chapter, mine gases are treated in a more practical way than is the custom in ordinary books on the subject. The properties of gases and the changes which affect their composition, together with the products of the combustion of gases, are clearly defined. The author appreciates the cordial reception given the first edition of his book and trusts the revised edition will meet with favor and speedily find a larger field of usefulness.
