Abstract

The authors propose a physico–mathematical model to describe nonequilibrium filtration and diffusion of free and absorbed gas in coal in the framework of heterogeneous medium mechanics considering physical desorption. The model consists of a set of nonhomogeneous parabolic equations with a rigid source member. In terms of problems on propagation of compression and rarefaction waves, effect of the nonequilibrium desorption on the width of these waves is revealed. The problem on initiation and steady–state of a shock wave in coal is solved.
