Abstract

Research into the characteristics of geothermal fields is important for the control of heat damage in mines. Based on measured geothermal data of boreholes from −200 m to −1200 m in a Jiahe Coal Mine, we demonstrate non-linear but increasing relations of both geo-temperatures and geothermal gradients with increases depth. Numerically, we fitted the relationship between geo-temperatures and depth, a first-order exponential decay curve, formulated as: T(h) = −4.975 + 23.08 × exp(−h/1736.1).
