Abstract
Experimental study has been conducted to examine the heat transfer characteristics of water in oil emulsion with THF hydrate. Test emulsion as a base medium was prepared of silicon oil, distilled water and small amount of surfactant. Tetrahydrofuran hydrate was produced in the test emulsion. Heat transfer experiments has been carried out in the temperature controlled vessel on electrical heated Pt wire. It is obvious that the higher heat transfer coefficient indicates than the silicone oil. Effect of water contents and transient of heat transfer was also discussed.
