    Max. Marks:30 Max Time: 2 Hours

    I nstructions:
    There are seven questions. Answer all the questions.
    Make your valid assumption, wherever necessary.

    Q.1: Write short notes on


    a) Recirculation and its Detection Algorithm (Marks:2)
    b) Hardy Cross lterative Procedure (Marks:2)
    c) Control flow and free splitting networks (Marks:2)
    d) Compressible and incompressible air flow (Marks:2)
    e) Mine and Fan Characteristics curve (Marks: 2)

    Q.2. What are the benefits of controlled recirculation? Derive mathematical expressions for determining
    the contaminant level in intake and return side of cross-cut recirculation circuit (path).
    (Marks:3)
    Q.3. Given a mine with a single fan whose static pressure is 500 Pa and total pressure is 750 Pa at a

    quantity of 200 m'/s. Generate the data for plotting the mine characteristic curve. (Marks: 3)

    Q.4. Given the ventilation system as shown in Figure l with resistances and assigned quantities as
    indicated , locate regulators where needed, specifying the amount of regulation at each. Determine the
    regulator resistance. (Marks: 3)

    e.5. For a controlled recirculation shown in Figure 3, determine the pressure that need to be generated
    by the fan and also determine the concentration of methane in the locations A and B marked. The intake .

    fresh air has a methane content of 0.1% and the make of gas at the workplace is 0.05 m3/s' (Marks: 3)
