Description

Based on Bernoulli equation in hydromechanics, the theoretical equation of wind pressure's changing resulting from piston airflow as hoisting equipment's being in operation was deduced when exhaust ventilation system was used and single hoisting equipment was in place. Combining with the working parameters of a uranium mine, the wind pressure's changing parameters of piston airflow were calculated and analyzed. Influence by piston effect to mine ventilation system got to be verified through field test. (authors)
