Gas and Heat

"Gas Hydrates and Heat Transfer" Please respond to the following"

please select one of the two questions to answer:

· Describe why pressure and temperature play a critical role in the stability of gas hydrates. Assess the potential for methane hydrate to be harvested as an energy source. Include a discussion of where methane hydrate deposits predominantly occur, challenges in locating and harvesting these resources, and any special environmental considerations.

· Describe the differences and similarities between temperature and heat. Analyze how heat transfer occurs during the processes of conduction and convection. Provide an example of where each occurs in natural physical systems.
