Abstract
In view of the serious exhaust pollution problems of underground fuel vehicles and the difficulty of controlling exhaust pollutants in the crossheading, this study takes the crossheading of a coal mine 25211 working face in Yulin, Shaanxi Province as an example, builds the transport model of CO, NO and NO2 exhaust components based on Euler equation, and establishes the physical model of vehicle parking in the crossheading. Analyzing exhaust diffusion at different wind speeds, results show that at 2.00 m/s, exhaust spreads and pollutes. The concentrations of the three exhaust gases reach their peak at approximately 3.93 m from the front of the crossheading, with the peak concentration of carbon monoxide being 2.44 % of the initial concentration. The study found that when driving into the crossheading with frequent vehicle stops, the air distribution volume of the crossheading should be ensured to meet the average wind speed of more than 2.00 m/s, which can effectively dilute the concentration of CO, NO and NO2 in vehicle exhaust and ensure the occupational safety and health of underground personnel. The average relative error of the three gases is less than 18.0 %.
期刊介绍:
The Process Safety and Environmental Protection (PSEP) journal is a leading international publication that focuses on the publication of high-quality, original research papers in the field of engineering, specifically those related to the safety of industrial processes and environmental protection. The journal encourages submissions that present new developments in safety and environmental aspects, particularly those that show how research findings can be applied in process engineering design and practice.
PSEP is particularly interested in research that brings fresh perspectives to established engineering principles, identifies unsolved problems, or suggests directions for future research. The journal also values contributions that push the boundaries of traditional engineering and welcomes multidisciplinary papers.
PSEP's articles are abstracted and indexed by a range of databases and services, which helps to ensure that the journal's research is accessible and recognized in the academic and professional communities. These databases include ANTE, Chemical Abstracts, Chemical Hazards in Industry, Current Contents, Elsevier Engineering Information database, Pascal Francis, Web of Science, Scopus, Engineering Information Database EnCompass LIT (Elsevier), and INSPEC. This wide coverage facilitates the dissemination of the journal's content to a global audience interested in process safety and environmental engineering.
