ABSTRACT

A model of heat transfer during gas hydrate formation at a gas-liquid interface in gas-liquid slug flow with liquid plugs, containing small bubbles is suggested. Under the assumption of perfect mixing of liquid in liquid plugs, recurrent relations for temperature value in the n-th liquid plug and heat and mass fluxes from the n-th unit cell of gas-liquid slug flow are derived. The total mass and heat fluxes in gas-liquid slug flow during gas hydrate formation are determined.
