Mathematical model of non-isothermal gas flow within the framework of tube hydraulics including change of tube cross-section due to hydrate formation and the dependence of coefficient of heat transfer between gas and hydrate layer on varying flow area is proposed. The corresponding conjugate problem of heat exchange between imperfect gas in the pipeline and the environment is reduced to the solution of differential equations describing non-isothermal flow of gas in pipes and heat transfer equations in ground with the corresponding conjugation conditions. In the quasi-stationary mathematical model of hydrate formation (dissociation), the dependence of gas-hydrate transition temperature on gas pressure is taken into account. Some decisions taken in the design of the first section of the main gas pipeline «Power of Siberia» have been analyzed. It has been shown that if gas is not sufficiently dried, outlet pressure may drop below the technological limit in about 6-7 hours. At the same time, for completely dry gas ,it is possible to reduce the cost of thermal insulation of the pipeline at least two fold.

The flow of wet natural gas in the pipeline is considered in the presence of the formation of gas hydrates on the internal walls of the channel. In the description of the phenomenon, such interrelated processes as phase transformations and mass transfer of water into the composition of gas hydrates, heat transfer between the gas stream and the environment, heat conductivity in the ground are taken into account.

ABSTRACT Natural gas, one of the major sources of energy for the 21st century, provides more than one-fifth of the worldwide energy needs. Storing this energy in gas hydrate form presents an alternative to its storage and smart solution to its flow with the rest of the fluid without creating a difficulty in gas pipeline systems due to pressure build-up. This study was design to achieve this situation in a controlled manner using a simple mathematical model, by applying mass and momentum conservation principles in canonical form to non-isothermal multiphase flow, for predicting the onset conditions of hydrate formation and storage capacity growth of the gas hydrate in pipeline systems. Results from this developed model shows that the increase in hydrate growth, the more the hydrate storage capacity of gas within and along the gas pipeline. The developed model is therefore recommended for management of hydrate formation for natural gas storage and transportation in gas pipeline systems.

Abstract The paper solves the problem of thermal conductivity inside a flat plate under the impact of a hot jet of nitrogen impinging from one side and cooled by a gas flow from the other side. In this formulation of the problem, there may be local maxima and minima of the temperature inside the plate, caused by an uneven distribution of heat fluxes along the plate.

This paper presents a comprehensive mathematical model of transport phenomena which occur along a tuyere of the Teniente converter during injection of oxygen-enriched air. Inlet pressure, gas velocity and temperature, the dimensions of the tuyere, and the properties of gas are the basic data. From these inputs, temperature distribution of the refractory walls of the converter around the tuyere as well as the velocity, pressure, and the Mach number along the pipe can be calculated. In this model, the heat transfer through the metal jacket of the tuyere and the refractory lining are duly taken into account. More precisely, a mathematical model is developed where the equations of momentum and energy of the gas are coupled with the equations of heat transfer inside the solid part. This new model couples a partial differential equation in the solid part with four ordinary differential equations in the gas flow.

A numerical model is developed to examine the flow conditions of multiphase heat transfer and entropy production during hydrate formation in subsea pipelines. The temperature and pressure gradients of the oil and gas flow in subsea pipelines lead to entropy generation. This paper examines the impacts and effects of thermodynamic irreversibilities on the nucleation and growth processes of hydrate crystals in the pipeline flows. The effects of heat transfer ratio, internal diameter of the pipe, molar gas density, and environment temperature on entropy production in subsea pipelines are predicted and discussed in this paper. The numerical model accounts for the temperature distribution along the axial length of the pipe, reaction kinetics, and mass transfer between the solid and fluid layer. The kinetic energy of the hydrate particles during the coagulation process is analyzed in the numerical model. The results indicate that entropy production is highest at the beginning of the nucleation process. Pipelines with smaller internal radii have a lower rate of hydrate formation in subsea pipelines. The results from the numerical model are verified by comparison with experimental results for structure type II natural gas hydrates.

This paper discusses the mathematical model of powder material particles heating in the gas flow when applying plasma gas and thermal coatings. It has been assumed that while moving in the plasma, the particle is heated by convective heat transfer and radiative heat transfer. To ensure accuracy and validity of calculation, two characteristic regions have been outlined: Core, where the temperature, density, and viscosity of plasma, as well as the other parameters are assumed as constant; and the region from the core to the coated surface (substrate), where these parameters are the functions of the plasma flow coordinates. One of the assumptions is that the shape of the particles is near-spherical, and the thermal flow’s action to the particles’ surface is uniform. Special attention has been paid to correct selection of criteria , which allowed to simplify the solution and reduce it to the ordinary first-order differential equation derived from the particle heat balance equation.
