Abstract:
In order to further clarify the transport mechanism of coalbed methane and to study the gas diffusion law in coal, this paper conducted an experimental study on the desorption law of coal particle gas. On the basis of experiment, the time-varying characteristics of the diffusion coefficient in the process of coal particle gas desorption were analyzed, and the gas diffusion calculation model considering the time-varying diffusion coefficient was obtained by experimental fitting. On this basis, the influence of coal particles with different shapes on the gas desorption law is studied, and the gas diffusion equations of flat and cylindrical coal particles based on time-varying diffusion coefficients are established. The corresponding analytical solutions are obtained by using mathematical and physical methods, and the results are verified. The results show that the larger the adsorption equilibrium pressure is, the larger the gas desorption capacity is. At the initial stage of desorption, the larger the particle size is, the smaller the desorption capacity and desorption speed are. However, after reaching the "limit particle size", the particle size has little influence on the desorption capacity and desorption speed. Under different temperature conditions, the gas desorption amount monotonously increases with time. The higher the temperature is, the greater the desorption amount is. The adsorption constant a value slightly increases with the increase of temperature and then decreases. The adsorption constant b value has a trend of decreasing with the increase of temperature. The research results have very important practical significance for the optimization of the testing method of underground coalbed methane content and the prediction of coal and gas outburst risk.
