This article investigated the thermal properties of methane hydrates to understand their potential in energy applications and how they could affect the climate. The thermal analyzer was used in a high pressure situation to accurately measure the thermal properties of the methane hydrates. This system was modified by the researchers in order to perform in the high pressure situation. Additionally, an uncompacted methane hydrate sample was created in the sample ...
The author presents a study done on methane hydrates to determine their thermal properties. Specifically, the thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity are investigated to determine if these hydrates would be suitable as an energy source....
Through the use of experimental (one-sided TPS technique) and theoretical (MD simulations) methods, the thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of methane hydrate was studied. Varying concentrations of methane hydrate were studied. The effect of pressure on the thermal properties of methane hydrate was also studied and didn't have a significant effect on the measurement of thermal conductivity. The results obtained from the experimental and theoretical methods agreed well with each ...
