Abstract:

To enable non-contact remote estimation of the absolute methane volume fraction at non-fixed measurement points in mines, a dual-optical-path differential absorption laser method is proposed. The method is based on the principle of methane path-integrated volume fraction measurement using a single optical path. Two adjacent parallel optical paths are arranged in the measurement area to obtain path-integrated methane volume fraction information at different spatial positions. By using the difference between the two path-integrated volume fractions, an approximate relationship is established between this difference and the local methane volume fraction near the target measurement point. In this way, the conventional path-integrated measurement result is transformed into an estimate of the local methane volume fraction at a non-fixed measurement point. This conversion helps alleviate the inherent limitation of single-path measurements, which provide only cumulative information along the optical path. To evaluate the feasibility of the proposed method and the effects of key parameters, a simulation model of the local methane volume fraction field near a coal wall is developed. The effects of the vertical distance Δn between the reference reflective surface and the target measurement point, together with the optical-path spacing d, on the estimation error are analyzed. The results show that, under a given Δn, the estimation error first decreases and then increases with increasing d, indicating that an appropriate matching relationship exists between d and Δn. When Δn is 0.02, 0.04, and 0.06 m, the corresponding preferred d values are approximately 0.05, 0.17, and 0.35 m, respectively. The minimum absolute error reaches 0.000 9%. As Δn increases, the preferred d generally increases, reflecting a balance between the difference in path-integrated information and the local representativeness of the measurement. When the absolute error is no greater than 0.01%, d can be adjusted within an allowable range. The results provide a theoretical basis and a methodological reference for remote estimation of the absolute methane volume fraction at non-fixed measurement points in mines.
