Improvement of calculation method for heat transfer coefficient in air shaft based on experimental measurements in reversal ventilation mode

The article describes an improved calculation method for the effective heat transfer between a wet air shaft and air flow based on experimental measurements in the mode of reversal ventilation using the numerical solution of an equation system of joint heat and mass exchange between air flow and the shaft walls with regard to moisture transfer. The direct model analysis of varying moisture content of air flow allowed more accurate estimation of the air temperature change in the shaft because of the mass exchange processes. The effective heat transfer coefficient included in the mathematical model of joint heat and mass transfer in the air, shaft lining and rock mass was determined by minimization of disagreement between the measured and calculated temperatures in air flow in the shaft and in adjoining roadways, as well as between the measured and calculated temperatures of the shaft lining at the junctions of the shaft and roadways. It is found that the value of the heat transfer coefficient in the test air shaft is nonuniform along the shaft height due to different moisture contents of the shaft areas. For three test shaft areas, the formulas are obtained to evaluate the effective heat transfer coefficients. The obtained values were much higher than the calculations using classical formulas for dry roadways. The effective temperature conductivity was also determined for three test areas of the shaft lining.

Keywords: mine ventilation, air shaft, joint heat and mass transfer, moisture transfer, effective heat transfer coefficient, effective temperature conductivity of lining, reversal ventilation.
