MODELLING OF TEMPERATURE FIELD OF FADING TERIKONS

Abstract

Burning dumps of coal mines are dangerous for the environment. To prevent dangerous manifestations of heat it is necessary to study the thermal conductivity processes associated with the burning dumps. The article deals with the methods of mathematical modeling showing the distance from the point of higher temperature on the surface of the terikons to the source of combustion. The temperature on the terikons is influenced by seasonal fluctuations and different distances from the source of combustion. It is shown that the surface temperature is influenced both by seasonal fluctuations of temperature and combustion temperature. At a distance of more than 4 meters from the surface of terikons the impact of seasonal fluctuations of temperature is hardly observed.
