| Research Abstract |
I focused on clathrate hydrates as a phase change material, and their equilibrium and heat properties were measured and investigated. Additionally, the flow property of hydrate slurries was also measured, and their utility for the application as a refrigerant was evaluated. As a result, it was found that compared with general gaseous refrigerants and ice slurries, hydrate slurries could become an effective refrigerant with the view of energy, which depended on conditions.
