Abstract

For the first time, numerous experiments were carried out to evaluate the effect of electric field (EF) on the mechanism of naturally occurring THF hydrate formation. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software was utilized to analyze the experimental data. First, the effect of static electric field (SEF) strength on nucleation temperature (T-nuc) and growth time (t-growth) studied. Based on the statistical results, increasing the intensity of SEF induces nucleation at a relatively high temperature. Furthermore, the completion of solidification takes a longer time than the same process in the absence of SEF. The notable point is that by switching a SEF to a pulsed electric field (PEF) of equal voltage, the EF effectiveness on the two mentioned kinetic parameters significantly reduces. The other point is that applying EF heightens the enthalpy of fusion of THF hydrate.
