The heat transfer characteristics of tatra-n-butyl ammonium bromide(TBAB)clathrate hydrate slurry (CHS) flowing through the heated mini-tubes under constant heat flux are investigated in the present paper. The inlet and outlet temperature
outer tube wall temperature and flow velocity of TBAB CHS in heated tube were measured. The variation of the temperature along the tube was obtained by solving the continuity
momentum and energy equations. It was found that influence of heating flux on heat transfer was larger in smaller tube. In addition
influence of flow velocity in laminar region is smaller than that in turbulence region. Referring to the results of ice slurry and MPCM slurry
a similar form is adopted to fit experimental data. The empirical heat transfer correlation are quantitatively similar to those of experimental results and the relative errors are within ±20%.
