Simulated and experimental study on effect of thermal insulation layer on temperature field and heat dissipation of roadway surrounding rock

As mining activities extend deeper, intense heat dissipation from surrounding rock has become the most significant factor leading to heat hazards in deep mines. Laying the thermal insulation layer (TIL) along the roadway walls is an effective measure to reduce heat dissipation. This study is to inve...

description As mining activities extend deeper, intense heat dissipation from surrounding rock has become the most significant factor leading to heat hazards in deep mines. Laying the thermal insulation layer (TIL) along the roadway walls is an effective measure to reduce heat dissipation. This study is to investigate the temperature field and heat dissipation evolution of roadway surrounding rock after applying thermal insulation layer (TIL) by numerical simulation and similar experiment. The study shows that (i) The simulation curves agree well with the experimental data, which confirms the reliability of the mathematical model and numerical simulator; (ii) The application of TIL slows down the cooling of surrounding rock temperature field, the cooling ring radius decreased by 8.13 % after 10 years of ventilation; (iii) The effect of TIL on the equivalent thermal resistance (ETR) is most significant in early ventilation, and the thermal insulation effect decreases with time; (iv) The heat insulation rate is positively correlated with the TIL thickness and the convective heat transfer coefficient, and negatively with the thermal conductivity of TIL. This study provides the theoretical basis for the use of thermal insulation materials in underground mines.
