Abstract

A small scale tunnel representing mine gallery was designed, fabricated and installed at Central Mining Research Institute, Dhanbad, India. The basic purpose of installation of the tunnel was to study different aspects of mine fire when it breaks out in open gallery/tunnel of a mine under normal air flow condition. The paper highlights the salient features of the tunnel, instrumentation, experimental procedure, important observations during the experiment and correlation of findings with special reference to gas, temperature and fire size by critical analysis of data.
