Preface

This document was initially conceived to cover the topic “Mine Ventilation” included as part of the module “Technology of Exploitation of Mining Resources” in the master’s degree in Mining Engineering from the University of Cantabria. It has now been expanded and updated to meet my new teaching obligations covering the same topic in the module “Advanced Mining Techniques” in the master’s degree in Mining Engineering and Energy Resources at the University of León. This volume includes all the concepts necessary to succeed in any general course on the ventilation of mines and underground works. In addition, it also contains a significant number of questions and exercises that aim to strengthen the understanding of this theoretical base. In its writing, I have taken into account the chronic shortage of time that students in technical schools suffer, so I have sacrificed rhetoric in favour of synthesis. My aim was to produce a text that would serve the student as a link between the disciplines of fluid mechanics and mine ventilation. This volume also incorporates an updated compilation of regulations, as well as a large number of worked examples of realistic problems, which, I ho
