RESEARCH INTERESTS

Application of Pressure Balancing Techniques at the West Elk Coal Mine. The objective of this study is to test the principles of pressure balancing to reduce the risk of spontaneous combustion fires in coal mines. This objective will be accomplished by selecting a site for pressure chambers at the West Elk mine, CO, constructing and equipping these chambers with safety devices and gas monitors, conducting pressure balancing experiments, evaluating the results, and disseminating the outcomes.
