Abstract

The mathematical model of decomposition of a spherical gas hydrate particle in water behind a 1D wave of the stepped profile (rarefaction wave) is suggested. Contribution of the outer and inner heat flux in a particle to the process of hydrate decomposition is studied. The effect of the gas hydrate particle size, pressure and temperature jumps in liquid on gas hydrate decomposition is investigated.
