Experimental study of the dissociation of freon hydrate in a channel in the presence of air flow.

The effect of air velocity V in the channel on the dissociation of Freon R-134a hydrate at atmospheric pressure was studied experimentally. An increase in the velocity V led to an increase in the dissociation rate J, the surface temperature of the granules, and the temperature along the height of the Freon hydrate layer. An increase in velocity V from 0 to 2.5 m/s led to an increase in J by 2-2.1 times. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
