The sudden failure of walls or pillars in a mine caused by the weight or pressure of the surrounding rocks, and accompanied by a violent release of energy. 7, record 6, English, - rock%20burst
Record number: 6, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Rock bursts. In areas of very deep mining, as additional weight is supported by the pillars on the coal face, stresses may so build up that the yield point is reached. If the coal pillars, the roof, or the floor are able to yield gradually, the effects of the stresses are relieved by floor heaving, or by pillar or roof failure. Where the coal or the associated rocks are particularly strong and depths are much above average, these stresses may be relieved by rock bursts, which are relatively violent outbursts of the coal into the rooms and entries. Frequently, a large volume of gas (usually methane) is suddenly released during a rock burst in a coal mine. 8, record 6, English, - rock%20burst
Record number: 6, Textual support number: 1 OBS
for "coal burst" : Rock bursts and "coal bursts" in coal mines are generally designated by the term "bumps" or "bounces". A large proportion of these "bumps" or "bounces" are actually "coal bursts" due to fracturing of pillars and remnants and need not involve any fracturing of roof or floor rock. 4, record 6, English, - rock%20burst
Record number: 6, Textual support number: 2 OBS
for "air blast" : In former years rock bursts were sometimes referred to as "air blasts". This name originated from the fact that large quantities of rock loosened by some of the larger rock bursts displaced quantities of air, with the result that a blast of air passed through the mine workings. 4, record 6, English, - rock%20burst

Air washers make use of water sprays or cooling coils for evaporative and sensible cooling of mine air. Their use has largely been limited to shallow coal mines in the United States where it is desirable to reduce the dry-bulb temperature of the intake air during the hot summer months to prevent slaking of the roof due to excessive expansion. An air washer is essentially a heat exchanger and is similar to the type of unit employed for heat transfer with refrigeration or evaporative cooling systems. 3, record 8, English, - air%20washer

Mine roadways offer resistance to air flow due mainly by surface drag between air and roadway sides(...) Energy losses are directly proportional to the cube of the air quantity flowing. A simpler pressure difference relationship is used which is derived from basic fluid flow principles and which can be related to Atkinson's equation. In this case P=RQ [squared] where P is the frictional pressure difference across a length of roadway in pascals : R is the roadway resistance in Gauls(...) ;and Q the air-flow rate in [cub metre]/s. Roadway resistances are expressed in Gauls per 100 m of airway(...) 1, record 26, English, - Gaul

Selon ce qu'en dit M. Favre Bulle, directeur de la revue "Industrie minérale", le Gaul est, dans le nouveau système international, l'unité de mesure de la résistance d'une galerie d'aérage, d'après la formule h = rxq au carré, où h représente la différence de charge (en pascals); r, la résistance (en Gauls), et q le débit (en mètres cubes/seconde). L'ancien système d'unités français utilisait le "murgue", un kilomurgue valant 9,81 Gauls. 1, record 26, French, - Gaul
