Natural gas hydrate shell model in gas-slurry pipeline flow

摘要

A hydrate shell model coupled with one-dimensional two-fluid pipe flow model was established to study the flow characteristics of gas-hydrate slurry flow system.The hydrate shell model was developed with kinetic limitations and mass transfer limitations,and it was solved by Euler method.The analysis of influence factors was performed.It was found that the diffusion coefficient was a key parameter in hydrate forming process.Considering the hydrate kinetics model and the contacting area between gas and water,the hydrate shell model was more close to its practical situations.
