Description:

"There are three objectives to this task: 1. For a given set of conditions, mine temperatures, and rock types, determine the potential effect of different rock types on heat dissipation based on observations made during the LLEM simulation tests; 2. Provide written summary of results from 1; 3. Develop and deliver a numerical model that would allow NIOSH to estimate the point, if any, when the apparent temperature inside the chamber would begin to adversely impact inhabitants." - p. 1

"TD28ST1."

NIOSH contract 254-2008-M-23921 supports the agency's research into refuge alternatives in underground coal mines, as mandated in Section 13 of The Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response Act of 2006 ("MINER Act").
