Abstract

Temperature is the primary factor affecting the law of coal gas desorption. When the core method is used to measure the coal seam gas content (CSGS), the temperature of the coal core sample (CCS) will increase. The heat generated by the core bit cutting and rubbing the coal during coring is transferred to the CCS through the core tube, resulting in the temperature rising of the CCS. Because the CCS entering the core tube during coring is a dynamic process, the temperature of CCS is difficult to measure. To solve this problem, the temperatures of the core tube wall during coring in the Jiulishan coal mine (JLS), Guhanshan coal mine (GHS) and Zhaogu coal mine (ZG) at the core depth of 20 m were measured by the self-designed temperature measuring device. The thermodynamic models of the core bit and the core tube during coring were established. The reliability of the model was verified by comparing the numerical simulation results with the field measurement results. The verified model was used to predict the temperature changes of the core tube wall during coring in different strength coal seams and different core depths. The results show that the temperature change of the core tube wall was divided into a slowly temperature rising stage Ⅰ, a fast temperature rising stage Ⅱ and a slowly temperature rising and slowly temperature falling stage Ⅲ, which correspond to the process of pushing the core tube, drilling the CCS and early stage and later stage of withdrawing the core tube, respectively. The maximum temperature of the core tube wall appears in the first 3 min of withdrawing the core tube, and increases with the core depth increasing. The temperature of the measuring point at the end of drilling the CCS and the maximum temperature during coring linearly increase with the core depth. The temperature heating rate of the core tube is negatively linear, with the coal seam strength during pushing the core tube wall process. However, the temperature heating rate of the core tube wall is positively linear with the coal seam strength during drilling the CCS process. This study can provide a basis for further research on the dynamic distribution characteristics of temperature in the CCS during coring, which is of profound significance to calculate the gas loss amount and CSGC.
