Application of Fuzzy Logic for Predicting of Mine Fire in Underground Coal Mine

Abstract

Background Spontaneous combustion of coal is one of the factors which causes direct or indirect gas and dust explosion, mine fire, the release of toxic gases, loss of reserve, and loss of miners' life. To avoid these incidents, the prediction of spontaneous combustion is essential. The safety of miner's in the mining field can be assured if the prediction of a coal fire is carried out at an early stage. Method Adularya Underground Coal Mine which is fully mechanized with longwall mining method was selected as a case study area. The data collected for 2017, by sensors from ten gas monitoring stations were used for the simulation and prediction of a coal fire. In this study, the fuzzy logic model is used because of the uncertainties, nonlinearity, and imprecise variables in the data. For coal fire prediction, CO, O 2 , N 2 , and temperature were used as input variables whereas fire intensity was considered as the output variable.The simulation of the model is carried out using the Mamdani inference system and run by the Fuzzy Logic Toolbox in MATLAB. Results The results showed that the fuzzy logic system is more reliable in predicting fire intensity with respect to uncertainties and nonlinearities of the data. It also indicates that the 1409 and 610/2B gas station points have a greater chance of causing spontaneous combustion and therefore require a precautional measure. Conclusion The fuzzy logic model shows higher probability in predicting fire intensity with the simultaneous application of many variables compared with Graham's index.

Optimization of the Fuzzy Logic Method for Autism Spectrum Disorder Diagnosis

“…The last step in this method is to determine the output value (Z) based on the membership function and analyze the composition between the rules created and create a membership function [19]. The formula used to determine the output value is as follows: The trapezoidal curve representation picture above can be explained that the initial input is x as the membership value and is processed to produce a decision if [39]:…”

Algorithm fuzzy scheduling (AFS) for realtime jobs on multiprocessor systems

“…Most of the quantities that we consider to be crisp, contain some ambiguity and fuzzification is generally used to tackle measurement inaccuracy. Fuzzy logic is faster; hence, it could alleviate time consumptions while making decisions [1]. The theory of fuzzy sets treats ambiguous activities mathematically and expresses degree of incomprehensibility in thinking of person by making connections to realtime number [2].…”
