Abstract

The process of decomposition of methane gas hydrate at atmospheric pressure, which is in a superheated state with respect to the equilibrium temperature T_s = 193 K is considered. positive temperature values (T > 273 K). In the region of positive temperatures, that the rate of decomposition is determined by the intensity of the heat flux through the flowing layer of water a film formed by the decomposition of a hydrate. Calculations were carried out for various initial and boundary temperatures, the results of which were analyzed and compared with the available experimental data
