| 要約: | The rheological properties of the CO<sub>2</sub> hydrate slurry are experimentally investigated by using a new flow loop with an inner diameter of 50 mm. The pressure drops of the CO<sub>2</sub> hydrate slurry are measured experimentally under the volumetric hydrate fraction, ranging from 1.4 to 17.2 vol%, and the shear rate ranging from 40 to 590 s<sup>−1</sup>. Using the capillary method, the rheology of the CO<sub>2</sub> hydrate slurry is analyzed based on pressure drop. The CO<sub>2</sub> hydrate slurry is identified as a power-law fluid and exhibits strong shear-thickening behavior. The increase in the volumetric hydrate concentration not only ascends the apparent viscosity, but also makes the non-Newtonian behavior of the hydrate slurry become more obvious. The non-Newtonian index and the consistence factor of fluid increase exponentially with the volumetric hydrate concentration increasing. A Herschel–Bulkley-type rheological model of the CO<sub>2</sub> hydrate slurry is correlated from experimental data. The developed model performs the average discrepancy of less than 16.3% within the range of the experiment.
