Coal and Tabular Mine Ventilation: Concepts and Planning

The course will present a robust methodology for ventilation system design and assessment, including ventilation planning, application of computer models, and assessments of system efficiency, health and safety, and risks. This will include a discussion on the effective application and limitations of ventilation models for the study of systems. The course will also discuss common mistakes made when developing a ventilation study or designing a ventilation system. Course emphasis will be on application of engineering tools to mine ventilation design for coal and other tabular deposit mines.
