A thesis submitted to the faculty of engineering university of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Johannesburg 1991 === Analysis of temperatures measured in an experimental coal bed (using the classical conductive-convective approach) confirm previously published permeabilities of similar beds, and furthermore validate the use of heat- transfer coefficients at exposed surfaces of coal stockpiles, The range of the estimated heat transfer coefficients is similar to natural convective coefficients at flat horizontal surfaces, which is expected.
