The underground or open-pit methods are used for the extraction of mineral resources, each of which is divided into different categories. Coal is one of the mineral resources, which is exploited either by the surface or the underground methods. The long-wall mining is one of the methods for the underground coal mining. In this method, which is a mechanized one, some machines such as the shearer or plow are used for the mining. The coal mine in Parvadeh, Tabas is a mechanized mine that is extracted by the long-wall mining. The modeling with particle flow code software was used in this mine for the evaluation of plow performance using the coal specifications. In this regard, the sample was first calibrated by sampling from the Parvadeh coal mine and performing the uniaxial and Brazilian tests on the model. Then, the modeling was done by constructing the model and using the variables such as the clearance angle and the linear velocity of the plow. After making 28 models for the plow, the best model of the plow was selected based on the maximum force applied to the machine in the X direction. Finally, the results of this study showed that the best plow performance is for a model with the clearance angle of zero and the linear velocity of 9 mm/min, and the maximum force applied to this model is equal to 39,000 kN in the X direction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
