Synopsis
Excerpt from Mining and Mine Ventilation: A Practical Handbook on the Physics
In adding to the number of text-books on Mine Ventilation the author aims to provide new material and to dwell more fully on the fundamental theories and laws of ventilation, and to furnish, if possible, to the student a more suggestive method of study in a more graphic form.
While ventilation experts practically agree upon the essential theorems in ventilation, it is believed, however, that the subject may yet hold a new attractiveness and be more readily mastered if a few important principles, which are now generally misunderstood by the student, are magnified.
The method of determining the size of fan, etc., to ventilate a mine under given conditions, together with certain facts pertaining to the water gauge, and the chapter on Mine Fires are entirely new features.
The author wishes to express his gratitude to the Robinson Ventilating Co. of Pittsburgh, Pa.; The American Blower Company, and their manager, Thomas W. Fitch, Jr., Detroit, Mich.; The Jeffrey Manufacturing Co., Columbus, Ohio; The Colliery Engineer, Scranton, Pa.; M. B. King, Expert Assistant in Industrial Education, Harrisburg, Pa.; and The Taylor Instrument Co., Rochester, N. Y., for many illustrations, tables and other information used in this book.

Mining and Mine Ventilation: A Practical Handbook on the Physics
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the scientific principles underpinning mining and mine ventilation during the early 20th century, a time of significant industrial advancement and growing concern for worker safety. The author meticulously explores the physics and chemistry of gases, offering insights into their properties, behaviors, and interactions within the context of mine environments. Readers are guided through fundamental concepts such as matter, motion, force, and gravity, gradually progressing towards the complexities of gas analysis and ventilation systems. The book meticulously details the composition of the atmosphere, the physiological effects of breathing, and the chemical reactions involved in combustion and gas mixtures. Practical applications are emphasized, with chapters dedicated to the use of barometers, hygrometers, and safety lamps in mining operations. The author delves into the intricacies of mine ventilation, covering natural ventilation, furnace ventilation, and the emerging technology of fan-driven systems. With detailed explanations of ventilation laws, friction, and pressure calculations, the book equips readers with the knowledge to design and manage efficient ventilation systems for mine safety. In an era marked by industrial progress and the inherent risks of mining, this book served as a crucial resource for miners and engineers, offering scientific understanding and practical solutions to ensure safe and productive working conditions underground.
