This comprehensive technical book on highwall mining covers theory and practice coupled with practical examples and design aspects. It contains eight extensive chapters elaborating broad-spectrum functionalities of highwall mining and its operational aspects, covering world scenario, economic potential, methods of coal extraction, design methodology including empirical web pillar design, numerical modelling for stress analysis, safety factor for web pillars, panel and barrier design, small-and large-scale numerical modelling, multiple seam interaction and design, coal web pillar strength, equivalent width concept, laboratory testing, new web pillar strength formula, effect of weak bands in coal seam, slope stability, safety and ground monitoring, hazards and regulatory requirements, case examples, norms and guidelines for practice. It also summarizes the results of research carried out by the CSIR Central Institute of Mining and Fuel Research (CSIR-CIMFR), India and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), Australia on the subject. The book will equip readers in understanding the complex, multiple seam scenarios for highwall mining, and its design for maximum coal recovery from any given site with better economics, which will aid the mining companies in extracting locked-up coal following the safety norms to avoid hazards and minimise instability issues. A large number of case studies is included to illustrate the application of numerical modelling for prior estimation and viability of highwall mining operations under varying geomining conditions. The book will be of interest to professionals and academics in the field of mining engineering specifically, but will also interest civil, geomechanical and geological engineers as well as rock mechanics professionals.
This book is a unique supplement to contemporary scientific literature on rock blasting technology. It encapsulates theoretical and practical aspects of drilling and blasting techniques used in both surface and subterranean excavations connected with civil as well as mining activities. Case studies are presented to illustrate correlations between theoretical calculations and empirical findings. It also summarizes the results of research carried out by the Blasting Department of the Central Mining Research Institute since its inception in the year 1970. It contains fifteen extensive chapters covering statistical methods, design parameters, rock breakage mechanism, structural damage, fragmentation, emerging techniques, surface and sub-surface blasting methodologies, safety and environmental aspects, explosive characteristics and modern initiating devices.
Primarily intended for the first-year undergraduate students of various engineering disciplines, this comprehensive and up-to-date text also serves the needs of second-year undergraduate students (Mechanical, Civil, Aeronautical, Chemical, Production and Marine Engineering) studying Engineering Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics. The whole text is divided into two parts and gives a detailed description of the theory along with the systematic applications of laws of Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics to engineering problems. Part I (Chapters 1-6) deals with the energy interaction between system and surroundings, while Part II (Chapters 7-15) covers the fluid flow phenomena. This accessible and comprehensive text is designed to take the student from an elementary level to a level of sophistication required for the analysis of practical problems.
About the Book: They are on a mission, He’s the operator, She’s the handler. It’s the mission of Seduction. The Mission gets the success, but yet everything goes haywire. He is gullible, OTT melodramatic and the mini version of SRK guy from Nagpur, who loves to be in love. She is a high class well to do Mumbaikar, a rebellious, independent, rude, unfiltered woman, with absolutely no respect to anything. Looks predictable, same old shitty love story, isn’t it? But the story of THE ONE WITH THE BITCH, can be you, or may not be you, but you will surely don’t want to end up like them. Or maybe you will? WILL YOU? About the Author: Pijush Sinha, 29-year-old founder, teacher and a newbie, wannabe writer, grew up in Chandrapur, The Black Gold City of India. Started his adventure with Chartered Accountancy, diverted to Restaurant business to earn some quick income, failed way miserably, but never giving up attitude and late realization of love of teaching, eventually led him to be founder of The Pine Academy, Nagpur, in 2015. He is also a Class X Mathematics doubt clearing educator with Unacademy online platform. From being expertise in writing Love letters for his friends during school times, to writing his first fiction romance THE ONE WITH THE BITCH. He's a notorious, adventurous, extra positive guy. Travelling, listening to music, smiling without any reason and especially at the most serious situations are some of his hobbies.
