摘要:The paper presents the results of mining and experimental work, bench tests and theoretical studies of the energy characteristics of the stationary and pulsating fluid flow, which allow to estimate the efficiency of the cavitation generator in the hydro impulsive loosening of an outburst-prone coal-bed. The active stage of the hydro impulsive loosening and the effective range of the amplitude-frequency (AF) spectrum of the generator operation acoustic signal have been established by the AF spectrum of the sound accompaniment of the hydro impulse impact and the backup pressure of the liquid in the well. By calculation for this range the energy characteristics of the static and dynamic components of the pulsating fluid flow were determined. This made it possible to determine that the efficiency of the cavitation generator, all other conditions of the coal-bed hydro loosening being equal, is 4.8–1.2 times higher than the efficiency of the static impact.
