Flow characteristics of hydrofluorocarbon gas hydrate slurries under various conditions in a loop tube

Gas hydrate slurries, which are prepared using solid hydrates and water, effective secondary refrigerants with a high latent heat of fusion could be used to reduce global warming. The application these slurries requires knowledge their flow characteristics in good poor states. In the present work, properties R-134a R-32 gas circulating loop tube were investigated Rabinowitsch–Mooney equation estimate characteristics. When undergoing laminar flow, state pseudoplastic fluids. However, under conditions that induced behaved as dilatant relative viscosities estimated Happel’s according apparent particle hold-up. turbulent both acted fluids maintained
