Abstract:This work presents the development of a research facility to evaluate dust emissions involving wagon and stockpile models, considering operational and environmental variables. Furthermore, the influence of wagon vibration along the railway was considered to match the experimental conditions more closely to reality. The experimental apparatus consisted of a wind tunnel to simulate the wind speed, two lamps with controlled power sources to simulate insolation, a spray nozzle to simulate rain, a turntable to modi… Show more
