Combustion of Double Gas Hydrate

An experimental study on double hydrate dissociation in the presence of air velocity u0 was performed. Forced convection increases the dissociation rate. The experimental curve for the time of the combustion beginning was obtained. During the dissociation of a complex gas hydrate, two typical decay modes can be distinguished. To increase the combustion efficiency of gas hydrate fuel, the most optimal air velocity corresponds to the range of 0.75-1.25 m/s. The increase in the velocity u0 over 3.5 m/s leads to the cessation of fuel combustion.

Automated summary

Forced convection increases the dissociation rate of gas hydrate, with two typical decay modes during the dissociation process of complex gas hydrate. The optimal air velocity for increasing combustion efficiency falls within the range of 0.75-1.25 m/s. However, exceeding a velocity of 3.5 m/s leads to the cessation of fuel combustion.
