基于热力学和流体力学,采用数学建模的方式建立了水合物水力提升管道 温压模型、水合物分解传质模型和管道多相流模型,分析了固液两相流转变成固液气三相流过程中不同影响因素下管道流体 温压、水合物颗粒物质的量、分解面位置与海水深度的关系.结果表明 : ①随着管道流量增大,水合物分解速度减慢,分解 面少量上移 ;

②颗粒直径对管流温压、相平衡压力、水合物分解面基本没有影响,但只有直径小于 0.2 mm 的水合物颗粒才 能在管道中完全分解,直径大于 2.0 mm 后,颗粒分解量忽略不计 ;

③出口回压为正压且增加时,水合物分解面上移,分解 速度减慢,而出口回压为负压且增大时,水合物分解面下移,分解速度加快 ;

④随着采矿深度的增加,水合物分解速度变慢, 分解面上移,但在与海面距离超过

1 500 m 后采矿深度对水合物分解速度、分解面无影响 ;

⑤实验验证与数值仿真规律基本 一致,表明所建立的模型具有较高的可信度.结论认为 : 绞吸式开采水合物时,控制合理的流量和出口回压能够调节分解面 高度以及分解速度,并且不用考虑颗粒直径和采矿深度对产气量的影响. 关键词 海底 天然气水合物 绞吸式开采 水力提升管道 分解特性 数值仿真 影响因素 完全分解粒径 DOI: 10.3787/j.issn.1000-0976.2018.07.018 Decomposition characteristics of natural gas hydrates in hydraulic lifting pipelines Xu Hailiang, Kong Weiyang &

In Chinese) Abstract: For the sake of guiding parameter setting of the hydraulic lifting pipeline system for cutter-suction mining of natural gas hy- drates in sea beds (hereinafter, hydrates for short), the decomposition characteristics of hydrates in hydraulic lifting pipelines and the effects of flow parameters on decomposition characteristics were studied in this paper. A temperatureCpressure model for the hydrate hy- draulic lifting pipeline, a hydrate decomposition mass transfer model and a pipeline multi-phase flow model were established using math- ematical modeling method according to thermodynamics and fluid mechanics. Then, the relationships of the temperature and pressure of pipeline fluid, the amount of hydrate particulate matter and the decomposition surface vs. the seawater depth under the effect of different influencing factors during the transformation from solidCliquid two-phase flow to solidCliquidCgas three-phase flow were analyzed. And the following research results were obtained. First, the decomposition of hydrate slows down and the decomposition surface moves up- ward slightly with the increase of flow rate in the pipeline. Second, particle size basically has no effects on the temperature and pressure of pipeline fluid, the phase equilibrium pressure and hydrate decomposition surface. However, only the hydrate particles whose diameter is smaller than 0.2 mm can be completely decomposed in the pipeline while the decomposition of those whose particles size is greater than 2.0 mm is negligible. Third, if the back pressure at the outlet is positive, the decomposition surface moves upward and the decompo- sition of hydrate slows down with the increase of the back pressure. And if the back pressure at the outlet is negative, the decomposition surface moves downward and the decomposition of hydrate speeds up with the increase of the back pressure. Fourth, the decomposition of hydrate slows down and the decomposition surface moves upward with the increase of mining depth. However, the decomposition ve- locity and decomposition surface are basically unchanged when the mining depth is below
