Influence of Water Injection Pressure on Methane Gas Displacement by Coal Seam Water Injection by Tianwei Shi, Yishan Pan, Wenhong Zheng, Aiwen Wang

“…The test results show that with the same displacement time, the ratio of displaced methane increases with the increase in the water injection pressure. The displacement rate increases with the increase in the water injection pressure at the stage without water discharge, while the water displacement rate under different water injection pressures differed slightly; in the later displacement stage, a higher water injection pressure of the coal sample results in a faster attenuation of the displacement rate and water displacement rate due to the decrease in the methane content in the coal sample. …”

About development of expert possibilities for consideration of equipment projects and technological decisions by D. J. Lobach

“…The purpose of the research described in the article is to formulate and substantiate the methodology for analyzing quantitative patterns of parameters of projects, devices, systems and technologies, that can be used for relative or rating comparison of projected, planned or applied investigated objects without using long-term experimental or operational data.The proposed approach to the analysis of quantitative patterns makes it possible to conduct a primary assessment of the advantages of innovative technologies, acomparative assessment of the safety of technical complexes, a targeted pre-operational assessment of equipment parameters, and to form planned distinctive parameters for the implementation of experimental and commercial technical projects.…”
