Mine Environmental Engineering – I Detailed Syllabus for B.Tech second year second sem is covered here. This gives the details about credits, number of hours and other details along with reference books for the course.
The detailed syllabus for Mine Environmental Engineering – I B.Tech 2016-2017 (R16) second year second sem is as follows.
B.Tech. II Year II Sem. L/T/P/C
Course Code: MN404ES 3/1/0/3
Course Objectives:
In view of very difficult /uncomfortable environment envisaged in deeper mines in future, this course aims at sampling and analysis of mine air, understanding of heat, humidity, distribution of air, natural ventilation etc for underground mines. Mechanical ventilation devices including auxiliary fans, booster fans etc are also covered in this course.
Course Outcomes:
Student can understand the ventilation requirements for ground mines including selection of mine fans, ventilation planning, ventilation surveying etc. For any underground mine, ventilation officer is a statutory post as per Indian Mining Law. This course facilitates the required knowledge to perform the duties of ventilation planning effectively.
UNIT-I Atmospheric air-its composition, mine air – its composition and variation, origin, occurrence, physical, chemical and physiological properties and monitoring of mine gases, various types of damps. Sampling and analysis of mine air. Methane drainage and methane layering of gases.
UNIT-II Heat and humidity: Sources of heat in mines, effect of heat and humidity, psychometric, kata thermometer, methods of improving of cooling power of mine air. Air conditioning basic vapour cycle, representative layout. Air flow through mine openings: Laws of air flow, resistance of airways, equivalent orifice, distribution of air, flow control devices.
UNIT-III Natural Ventilation: Calculation of NVP from air density, artificial aids to natural ventilation. Mechanical ventilation: Principal types of mine fans and their suitability, merits, limitation, efficiency and characteristics. Selection of mine fan, fan testing, output control in fans, series and parallel operation of mine fans.
