Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the dangers of gases produced in mines, and subsequent explosions. It examines the problem historically, and in the process, delivers a wealth of information on the nature of such gases and their effects. The author first introduces the subject by relating a mine fire that resulted in an explosion before delving into the topic of gases themselves. The author details experiments conducted with carbon monoxide, methane, and air to test their explosive limits and the results are cataloged here for the benefit of the reader. The author also provides data from other similar experiments done by other research teams. The author includes information on the composition of gases from destructive processes, including combustion and distillation, the latter of which is both natural and manmade. The destructive processes detailed are those of coal, wood, and producer gas, all of which are highly relevant to the book's subject matter. Finally, the author shares data from samples taken from different mine fires, giving the reader a glimpse into real world data that was used to support the theoretical information derived from the experiments. This book is useful for anyone interested in learning more about the dangers of gases produced in mines and the history of their study.
