Abstract
Abstract
A mathematical model is proposed for the destruction of a methane hydrate monolith containing gas inclusions. In this formulation of the problem, it is assumed that there is a cylindrical cavity inside the hydrate monolith, initially filled only with methane. Since the conditions on the surface of the particle correspond to the conditions for the free existence of gas and water, the gas hydrate begins to decompose. On the basis of the obtained system, consisting of the equations of conservation of mass and heat, the temperature distributions in the “cavity - gas hydrate” system were obtained, and the influence of the initial temperature of the system and the temperature in the cavity on the dynamics of hydrate decomposition was analyzed.
