Noise Control in Mining

A wide variety of mining processing and materials-handling equipment is used in underground and surface mining, and in preparation/pro-cessing plants with many noise sources on them having a range of varying noise levels. Frequently, a single piece of equipment will combine several individual noise sources.

How to Use Steam Table?

A steam table gives the properties of water (liquid, vapor, and mixture) at different temperatures and pressures. Common properties listed:   T = Temperature   P = Pressure (absolute, not gauge)   v = Specific volume (m³/kg)   u = Internal energy (kJ/kg)   h = Enthalpy (kJ/kg)   s = Entropy (kJ/kg·K)   x = Quality (mass fraction of vapour, 0 = sat liquid, 1 = sat vapour)

Use of Explosives in Mining

Explosive is a solid or liquid substance or a mixture of substances which on application of a suitable stimulus is converted in a very short time interval into other more stable substances, largely or entirely gaseous, with the development of heat and high pressure. 

Rope Haulage Systems

This system is simple in construction and maintenance. It can suit any gradient and curvature of roadways. Even gravity can assist it to the extent that in hilly terrain it could be installed. This type of arrangement, when installed in an incline, it is known as self-acting-incline.

Use of Conveyors in Mining

Mechanical conveyors are used for transporting most bulk solids (sand, ash, grains etc.) handling. They are used not only in transportation of bulk solids from one location to another location but also for feeding, discharging, metering and proportioning such materials to and from bulk solids storage silos and other solids handling and processing equipments. Conveyor is a device which is used for continuous transportation.
