Abstract

A method for simulating the effect of an applied electric field on the formation and decomposition of methane hydrate. A methane hydrate crystal cell is established by modeling with computer simulation software, the methane hydrate crystal cell is melted at a high temperature to obtain a gas-liquid mixed phase, and then the methane hydrate crystal cell and the gas-liquid mixed phase are superposedto obtain an initial configuration; By setting simulation parameters, the stable configuration was obtained through energy minimization and pre-equilibrium simulation, and the molecular simulation was carried out by applying electric fields with different intensities and frequencies. Molecular trajectory coordinates were obtained by molecular dynamics calculation, and the molecular trajectory coordinates were analyzed by image analysis and computation. From the molecular point of view, the real-time observation of the effects of applied electric fields with different intensities and frequencies on the formation and decomposition of methane hydrate provides theoretical guidance for the practical application of electric fields in various fields of methane hydrate. The new technology can reduce the use of chemical accelerators and inhibitors of hydrate which will pollute the environment by controlling the hydrate formation and decomposition with an applied electric field.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of gas hydrate formation and decomposition, and in particular relates to a method for simulating the influence of an external electric field on the formation and decomposition of methane hydrate. Background technique [0002] Gas hydrate is an ice-like crystal, which is a small guest molecule (CH 4 , CO 2 , N 2 etc.) Occupying the special enveloping compound formed by the cages formed by hydrogen bonds between water molecules. Hydrates are widely used in greenhouse gas capture, mixed gas separation, gas storage and other fields. In addition, natural gas hydrate (mainly methane hydrate) has been recognized as a new energy source with great potential due to its wide distribution, high energy density, green and clean, and is one of the research hotspots in the field of energy resources. In order to make better use of the different advantages of hydrates in different application fields, it is more important to study t...
