The Effect of Dynamics and Mass Transfer Limitation on the Kinetic Growth Rate of Methane Gas HydratesBy Alamezie Chinedu*
Abstract: Hydrate management aims to prevent impediments to fluid flow in pipes caused by hydrate deposition. To achieve this goal effectively, a comprehensive understanding of the thermodynamics and kinetics of hydrate formation is essential for predicting their equilibrium conditions, quantifying the amount of deposition, and estimating the associated risk. Hydrate growth studies are a relatively new field, and independent laboratory experiments have shown that hydrate growth is controlled by heat transfer, …
