Modeling of Freon 134a Gas Hydrate Synthesis via Boiling and Condensation of Gas in a Volume of Water

The paper presents a theoretical assessment of the hydration mass increase with time in the gas hydrate synthesis based on the self-organizing cyclic process of boiling and condensation of the hydrate-forming gas in a volume of water. Data were obtained on the distribution of the bubbles released because of boiling of the liquefied gas at three different points in time in a real experiment. The average rate of increase in the hydration mass was determined. The hydration gain was simulated for an experiment 30 minutes long. The data obtained were compared with experimental results.

Automated summary

This study theoretically assessed the increase in hydration mass over time during gas hydrate synthesis, using data from experiments and simulations. The results provide a theoretical foundation for further research into the synthesis of gas hydrates.
