Effect of Compressed Gas on Deep Mine Long-Distance Backfill Pipe Flushing: From Laboratory to Industrial Tests by Longjian Bai, Hongjiang Wang, Aixiang Wu, Hao Li, Shengkai Wang, Chong Chen, Chunkang Liu

“…A model was established to predict water consumption, which was validated by industrial tests. The results show that the water consumption of the flushing pipe increased with the power law as the backfill gradient increased and decreased with the increase of gas void fraction, gas pressure, and flow velocity. …”
