The paper presents a mathematical model of dissociation of methane hydrate during thermal exposure to a porous layer. The problem of the impact of a heat source (hot fluid) on a porous reservoir of finite length, initially saturated with methane hydrate, is considered. The temperature distributions in the system are constructed at different points in time. The influence of the temperature of the heat source on the nature of the movement of the phase transition boundary is investigated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
