Ventilation networks. Analysis, Synthesis and Control

The monograph examines the issues of force interaction of air flows in ventilation systems and gives general characteristics of aerodynamic resistance of ventilation ducts of various shape and purpose. We considered the friction pressure loss and local resistance pressure loss and gave necessary information about the sources of draught and its joint work in ventilation networks. Particular attention is paid to the problem of building analogues simulating ventilation systems with disrupted aerodynamic ties, analyzing interconnectivity of air flows in complex ventilation networks and assessing the impact of regulators on ventilation airflows. The book is intended for employees of industrial safety departments, engineering technicians of mining companies, researchers and doctoral students specializing in ventilation and university students taking courses of industrial ventilation and mining aerology.
