Methane hydrate is formed by physical binding between water molecules and methane gas, which is captured in the cavities of water molecules under the specific temperature and pressure. 1 m 3 hydrate of pure methane can be decomposed to the methane gas of 172 m 3 and water of 0.8 m 3 at standard condition. Therefore, there are a lot of practical applications such as separation processes, natural gas storage transportation and carbon dioxide sequestration. For the industrial utilization of hydrate, it is very important to rapidly manufacture hydrate. So in this study, hydrate formation was experimented by adding THF and oxidized carbon nanotubes in distilled water, respectively. The results show that when the oxidized carbon nanofluids of 0.03 wt% was, the amount of gas consumed during the formation of methane hydrate was higher than that in the THF aqueous solution. Also, the oxidized carbon nanofluids decreased the hydrate formation time to a greater extent than the THF aqueous solution at the same subcooling temperature.

In this study, for efficiency enhancement of low temperature heat exchanger, the thermal conductivity and the viscosity of carbon nanofluids and oxidized carbon nanofluids were measured at 10℃ and 25℃, respectively. Carbon nanofluids were made by ultrasonic-dispersing ones in distilled water after Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs) mixed Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS, 100 wt%), Polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP, 300 wt%) each. Oxidized carbon nanofluids were made by ultrasonic-dispersing Oxidized Carbon Nanotubes (OMWCNTs) in distilled water. The thermal conductivity of carbon nanofluids was measured by using a transient hot-wire method. The viscosity was measured by using a digital viscometer. As a result, the thermal conductivity of oxidized carbon nanofluids was the highest of those compared and the other carbon nanofluids at the same mixture ratio and temperature, and the viscosity was measured the lowest of those compared and the other carbon nanofluids.
