TY - JOUR TI - Principal component analysis of the effect of coal quality indexes on the maximum explosion pressure of coal dust AU - Ban Tao AU - Li Wen Ling AU - Jing Guo-Xun AU - Cheng Lei AU - Liu Chuang AU - Sun Yue JN - Thermal Science PY - 2021 VL - 25 IS - 3 SP - 2183 EP - 2189 PT - Article AB - It is well-known that the calorific value and heat transfer speed of coal are closely related to the coal quality index, and affect the explosion intensity and the maximum explosion pressure of coal dust explosion. In this paper, the pressure for different coal quality indexes is studied experimentally, and the main parameters affecting the pressure are elucidated by the principal component analysis of multivariate statistical analysis.
