초록

Methane hydrate, non-polluting new energy resource, satisfies requirement and considered as a precious resource that can prevent the global warming. Fortunately, there are abundant resources of methane hydrate distribute in the earth widely. Therefore, developing the techniques that can utilize these gases effectively is highly desired. The work in this paper here is to develop a skill which can transport and store methane hydrate. As a first step, the equilibrium experiment was carried out by increasing temperatures in the cell at fixed pressures. The influence of gas consumption rates under variable degree of subcooling, stirring and water injection has been investigated formation to clarify kinetic characteristics of the hydrate. The results of present investigation showed that the enhancements of the hydrate formation in terms of the gas/water ratio are closely related to operational pressure, temperature, degrees of subcooling, and water injection.
