Abstract

The decomposition of hydrates is a complex process involving three phases (gas phase, water phase, solid phase) and components (gas, water, hydrate). It is based on the numerical simulation of mass conservation and energy conservation equations for natural gas hydrates. The simulation results indicate that microwaves can effectively transfer energy from the feed, thus significantly improving the heating effect in the near-well area.
