Strength, cuttability, and workability of coal

Description

"This book focuses on combining the research studies and thereby have an appeal on the coal industry, research students, practicing engineers, and coal mine panning teams. This book will explain how to use the basic engineering properties of coal and to select and plan coal excavating machines for more efficient coal production"-- Abstract: "This book focuses on combining the research studies and thereby have an appeal on the coal industry, research students, practicing engineers, and coal mine panning teams.
