Measurement of induction times for the formation of methane and ethane gas hydrates

TLDR
Experimental data on hydrate formation kinetics, including induction times for methane, ethane and a mixture of the two gases, are presented in this article, where the data were measured using a stirred batch reactor recording the pressure as a function of time at constant temperature.

Deep sea NMR: Methane hydrate growth habit in porous media and its relationship to hydraulic permeability, deposit accumulation, and submarine slope stability

TL;DR: In this paper, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements have been made on methane hydrate-bearing sandstones and the relative permeability to water, as determined by an NMR-based correlation, was significantly reduced.

Induction time in crystallization of gas hydrates

TL;DR: In this article, the initial stage of one-component gas hydrates in aqueous solutions is analyzed and the temporal evolution of the volume of hydrate crystallized and the moles of gas consumed are determined.

A mass transport limited model for the growth of methane and ethane gas hydrates

TL;DR: In this paper, a simplified model is proposed based on the assumption that the transport of gas molecules from the gas phase to the liquid water phase is the rate-determining step in the overall hydrate formation process.

Induction phenomena in gas hydrate nucleation

TL;DR: In this paper, the metastable region for hydrate nucleation is discussed and the driving force for hydrates is defined, and the induction period data for the various hyddrates from a total of 93 hydrate formation runs were modelled as a function of the nucleation driving force.

Equilibrium constants from a modified Redlich-Kwong equation of state

TL;DR: In this article, a modified Redlich-Kwong equation of state is proposed, which can be extended successfully to multicomponent-VLE calculations for mixtures of nonpolar substances, with the exclusion of carbon dioxide.

Kinetics of formation of methane and ethane gas hydrates

TL;DR: An intrinsic kinetic model with only one adjustable parameter is proposed for the formation of methane and ethane gas hydrates in this article, where the formation rate is proportional to the difference in the fugacity of the dissolved gas and the three-phase equilibrium fugacity at the experimental temperature.

A kinetic study of methane hydrate formation

TL;DR: In this paper, a semi-empirical model was formulated to correlate the experimental kinetic data, which revealed that the formation kinetics were dependent on the interfacial area, pressure, temperature and degree of supercooling.

Thermodynamic and Molecular Properties of Gas Hydrates from Mixtures Containing Methane, Argon, and Krypton

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used experimental methane-krypton and methane-argon hydrate data to generate chemical-potential, enthalpy, and heat-capacity functions for Structure I hydrates for temperatures between -190/sup 0/ and 80/Sup 0/F (150 and 300 K) using a modified statistical model where the gas-water interactions were calculated from the spherical core Kihara intermolecular pair potential function.
