INHIBITION OF COMBUSTION AND EXPLOSION OF METHANE-AIR MIXTURES IN THE PRESENCE OF COAL DUST
It is shown that the combustion and explosion of methane-air mixtures occur only due to implementation of chain avalanche, regardless of the presence or absence of coal dust. It is established that the flame propagation with the addition of coal dust becomes progressively accelerating. The conclusion that pulverized coal promotes combustion and is able to initiate explosion has been made.
