Question:
Data from two production faces of an open pit iron ore mine are given.
Item description Face 1 Face 2 Maximum production capacity (tonne/day) 1600 2000 Fe (%) 63 58 Production cost of ores (in INR/tonne) 1500 1200
Ores from two different faces are blended and supplied with Fe grade not less than 60 %. Based on the demand, the combined production is limited to a maximum of 2500 tonne/day. If the selling price of blended iron ores is INR 4500 /tonne, the optimal production from two faces in tonne/day, for maximizing the profit, respectively are

- A longwall panel is to be developed in a flat seam at a depth of \( H \) m. The surface subsidence profile (\( s \)) of the area with the horizontal distance \( x \) is estimated as \[ s = \frac{S_{{max}}}{2} \left[ 1.002 - \tanh \left( \frac{4.8x}{H} \right) \right], \] where \( S_{{max}} \) is the maximum subsidence at the centre of the panel, \( x \) is measured from the inflection point. The value of \( x \) is negative towards the panel centre and positive towards the panel boundary. The ratio between the critical width of the panel and the depth is:
