Mine and Subsurface Ventilation

Summary

The subject deals with the main and auxiliary mine ventilation, including the
ventilation of dead end mine workings and the optimization of mine ventilation.
The basic principles of aerodynamics are explained as a basis for understanding
the process of underground air flow and ability to perform the relevant
calculations and solving the mine ventilation networks.
