| Summary |
|---|
This course addresses the issues of primary and auxiliary ventilation, ventilation of unbroken underground workings, and the optimization of ventilation systems. It is based on the fundamental laws of aerodynamics and their application to the design of ventilation systems for mines, tunnels, and large-scale underground structures. Students will gain knowledge of the principles of airflow in underground structures, methods for designing and evaluating ventilation systems, and the basic principles of their optimization. They will understand the relationships between aerodynamic parameters, ventilation design, and the operational safety of underground structures. They will learn to perform basic calculations related to ventilation and apply the acquired knowledge to solve specific problems. From a safety perspective, the course also addresses the issue of fire protection in tunnels and large-scale underground structures. Students will become familiar with the legislative and technical requirements for ventilation and safety in mines and underground structures and will acquire the skills necessary to apply them when solving technical problems and preparing the relevant technical documentation.
Technical Knowledge:
Students are familiar with the basic principles of airflow and ventilation in mines, tunnels, and underground structures. They understand the principles of primary and auxiliary ventilation, ventilation of unbroken mine workings, optimization of ventilation systems, and basic fire safety requirements.
Professional Skills:
The student is able to perform basic calculations related to the ventilation of underground structures and evaluate the basic parameters of a ventilation system. The student is able to apply ventilation and safety requirements when solving specific professional |
| Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |
|---|
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. Natural and thermal air flows, fluctuations of quarry air characteristics, basics of meteorology and force ventilation of opencast mine ventilation are discussed as well. |
