Detonating Gas Simulation Experiment System Based on the Dynamic ESD Model on Human Body

Abstract

Variation of dynamic electrostatic discharge (ESD) on human body that miners’ voltage,capacitance and resistance varies with the body’s dynamic change in coal mine environment is studied. A circuit model of the body’s dynamic ESD in coal mine environment is constructed. The simulation experiment system of the gas detonation by the human body ESD in coal mine is developed successfully. System principle, system hardware design and system software design is expounded. Simulation experiments with different body’s ESD model and the discharge gap has been done. Experimental results show that the system can be carried out series of experiments of the human body ESD model detonating mixed gas, it is concluded that the gas concentration that is the easiest to be detonated is about 8.7%. but not the higher gas concentration is , the more explosive is. The results provide an theoretical and experimental evidence for the safe electrostatic production and management in coal mine Keywords:simulation experiment system; dynamic ESD model ; hardware and software design ; human body capacitance
