The physical model of thermal processes in mine workings and the frozen, thawing and freezing rock mass at the modern level of research can be formulated as follows: the temperature of mine air varies along the length of workings x and in time τ as a result of its heat and mass exchange with the rock mass, minerals transported along the workings and ice (water) in the workings, as well as under the influence of "absolute" heatheat emissions and fluctuations in temperature t₀ and relative humidity φ₀ at the beginning of the ventilation path. In this case, only the intensity of “absolute” heat emissions can be considered constant in time. ...
