Mine Ventilation Pressure Drop Calculator

STEP BY STEP

How to use mine ventilation pressure drop calculator

1. Check the input units and assumptions.
2. Review the result and example.

IN PRACTICE

Example

Q=30 m³/s, A=12 m², P=14 m, L=500 m, k=0.012, ΣK=2, ρ=1.2: 51.25 Pa.

GOOD TO KNOW

Which formula and assumptions are used?

R = k L P / A³; Δp = R Q² + ΣK ρ (Q/A)² / 2. Single uniform airway; k in kg/m³ at actual air density, not a Darcy factor. Excludes leakage, network balancing, natural ventilation and fan selection.
