A sample of methane hydrate was prepared and analyzed by the TPS method (from 263 K to 278 K) in order to determine the thermal conductivity of the sample. The methane hydrate was prepared from methane gas and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) solution. The thermal conductivity of the impacted sample was compared to that of the unimpacted sample. It was determined that methane hydrate has glasslike thermal properties....
To evaluate the effect of climate change on the stability of methane hydrates in the seafloor, thermal conductivity measurements were performed in hydrate-bearing sediment. Using the renormalization and labeling technique methods, alongside of a thermal constants analyzer, the effective thermal conductivity (ETC) of methane hydrate-bearing sand and tetrahydrofuran (THF) hydrate-bearing sand were measured and found to be 1 W/mK and 2 W/mK, respectively. The thermal ...
