Reference excerpt

The Krupiński coal mine is a large mine in the south of Poland in Suszec, Silesian Voivodeship, 448 km south-west of the capital, Warsaw. Krupiński represents one of the largest coal reserve in Poland having estimated reserves of 34.8 million tonnes of coal. The annual coal production is around 3 million tonnes. The mine is based in Suszec, the deposits of which are located in the commune of Suszec, Żory and Orzesze in the Silesian Voivodeship. Employment at the end of 2011 amounted to 2819 employees. March 31, 2017 production in the mine was shut down and the plant was transferred to the Spółka Restrukturyzacji Kopalń in Bytom. This company is liquidating and managing the assets of liquidated mines.

History The construction of the mine began in 1975 in the mining area covering the areas of Kleszczów, Rudziczka, Suszec and Kryry. During the construction, the mine was called "Suszec". In 1983, it was transferred , and operated with the name "Krupiński", eponymizing the Polish mining and geology professor Bolesław Krupiński. As of ..., its owner was Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa SA. In the years 1983 - 2010, about 420.6 km of corridor workings were hollowed out. 115 longwall plots were exploited in 15 decks. About 47.1 million tons of coal were extracted. The mine is served by the District Mining Rescue Station in Wodzisław Śląski. In March 2017, the Krupiński mine was transferred to Spółka Restrukturyzacji Kopalń.

Accidents In 2008 (on July 31) an accident killed a 30-year-old miner, who was hit by a mass of coal detaching from the mining wall. In 2009 (July 22), a 44-year-old miner died, having fallen into the tensioning station of the belt conveyor. In 2011, (May 5), methane ignition occurred; a miner and two others took part in the rescue operation. In 2012: On April 18, a 26-year-old employee of another company was killed in the mine; during the drilling of new pavement, at the depth of 420 m, caught by part of the drilling machinery. On July 20, a 45-year-old miner died in the mine, having suffered a head injury while performing routine control of the skip shaft.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Krupiński Coal Mine

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Krupiński Coal Mine claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Krupiński Coal Mine before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Krupiński Coal Mine ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Krupiński Coal Mine

In research: Krupiński Coal Mine appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Krupiński Coal Mine in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Krupiński Coal Mine is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Coal mines in Silesian Voivodeship, Mine stubs, Poland geography stubs, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Krupiński Coal Mine outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
