Abstract
The purpose of the present study is to investigate the influence of CO_2 hydrate on the flow of liquid CO_2 injected in a packed bed that simulated seabed with glass beads. In order to reveal the influence of CO_2 hydrate, differential pressure and temperature are measured under both condition of CO_2 hydrate generation and no-generation. As the result, Temperature difference decreased with increase of flow rate in the condition of any diameter of glass beads. And, friction factor is compared with the Ergun's equation which is proposed for single-phase flow in a porous media. As the result, both condition of CO_2 hydrate generation and not, the measured friction factor is larger than that estimated with Ergun's equation. And, in the middle part, there are no difference of the friction factor between the hydrate generation and no-generation condition.
