Prediction model for spontaneous combustion temperature of coal based on PSO-XGBoost algorithm by Hui Zhuo, Tongren Li, Wei Lu, Qingsong Zhang, Lingyun Ji, Jinliang Li

“…Abstract The construction of a predictive model that accurately reflects the spontaneous combustion temperature of coal in goaf is fundamental to monitoring and early warning systems for thermodynamic disasters, including coal spontaneous combustion and gas explosions. In this paper, on the basis of programming temperature experiment and industrial analysis, 381 data sets of 9 coal types are established, and feature selection was executed through the utilization of the Pearson correlation coefficient, ultimately identifying O2, CO, CO2, C2H4, C3H8, C3H8/CH4, C2H4/CH4, C2H4/C3H8, CO2/CO, and CO/O2 as input indicators for the prediction model. …”

Theoretical and Numerical Research on V-Cut Parameters and Auxiliary Cuthole Criterion in Tunnelling by Xiaoming Lou, Bao Wang, En Wu, Mingwu Sun, Ping Zhou, Zhenchang Wang

“…A theoretical solution for increasing the critical depth of the auxiliary center cuthole and the criteria for increasing the cuthole diameter of various types of cutholes when the rock attributes, explosive properties, and cuthole dip angle are constant are proposed. (1) If charging length le < 0.75H/sin θ, no auxiliary cuthole is needed. (2) If 0.75H/sin θ < le < 0.75H/sin θ + (2∼4) × 0.1, a central vertical auxiliary hole is needed. (3) If 0.75H/sin θ + (2∼4) × 0.1 < le < 0.75(H/sin θ + Hi/sin θi), a shallow inclined hole is needed. (4) If le > 0.75(H/sin θ + Hi/sin θi), both the central vertical cuthole and the shallow inclined cuthole are needed. …”
