Industry:Mining
As a graphical aid to the solution of problems in mine ventilation, the mine head (static and/or total) is often plotted against the quantity. This is called the mine characteristic curve, or simply the mine characteristic.
Industry:Mining
As a result of high-speed, excessive pressure, and poor water circulation, sufficient heat may be generated at the bottom of a borehole to cause a diamond crown to soften, resulting in displacement of diamonds and a ruined bit.
Industry:Mining
As air passes down shafts and along inclined workings, it is compressed. Heat is always generated when air is compressed, and although the reverse process of decompression and cooling takes place as the air ascends the upcast shaft, the net effect is to raise the air temperature underground.
