Abstract:
The gas accumulation in the return corner of a high-gas fully mechanized mining face can easily cause the gas volume fraction to exceed the safety limit, threatening the safety of coal mines. In this study, the unit method was used to analyze the gas sources and emissions based on the actual case. The airflow and gas distribution characteristics of the two-inlet-one-outlet (TIOO) ventilation system and the one-inlet-two-outlet (OITO) ventilation system were studied using CFD numerical simulation. The results show that under the TIOO ventilation system, the "U"-type air leakage in the goaf leads deep gas into the return corner, which causes the gas volume fraction in the return corner to rise to 0.4-2.0%. After the mining face is optimized into the OITO ventilation system, the "J"-type air leakage of the goaf suppresses the high concentration of gas in the deep position of the goaf. Combined with the gas extraction measures, the gas volume fraction in the return corner, exhaust roadway's outlet, and retaining roadway's outlet is controlled at 0.28%, 0.34%, and 0.23%. This study will provide new ideas for solving the problem of gas accumulation in the return corner of a high-gas fully mechanized mining face.

Oxygen Delivering System II: Venturi Mask and Transtracheal Oxygen
Venturi Mask
The Venturi mask, named after the Venturi effect, is designed to deliver precise oxygen concentrations. It consists of a large tube with an oxygen inlet that narrows down, causing a pressure drop that pulls air in through adjustable side ports. The mask is a lightweight,...
Physiological Control of Respiration
Breathing, a seemingly passive process, is regulated by the respiratory center in the brainstem. This center coordinates the involuntary control of respirations, which means it occurs without conscious effort, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted pattern.
Regulation of Ventilation
The body maintains ventilation by monitoring levels of carbon dioxide (CO2), oxygen (O2), and hydrogen ion concentration (pH) in the arterial blood. Among these factors, the level of CO2 plays a crucial...

Administering Oxygen by Mask
Administering oxygen by mask is a common nursing intervention that provides supplemental oxygen to patients with respiratory distress or chronic lung conditions. This procedure involves delivering oxygen at a specified rate through a face mask connected to an oxygen source.
