Abstract
The present work uses a quasi-stationary model for predicting hydrate dispersion formations in slug flows. The approach couples a kinetic model for the hydrate formation rate with a model for the unit cell geometry. The mass balance takes into account the phases' consumption rates, while the energy balance, the heat generation due to the exothermic nature of hydrate formation. Simulations for long pipelines were carried out, with boundary conditions similar to those found in offshore scenarios. Results are presented in such a way that the hydrate formation effects on slug flow hydrodynamics and heat transfer can be understood.
