Acoustic Determination of Methane Hydrate Dissociation Pressures
The unique nature of the molecular structures of gas hydrates results in curious acoustic properties which have yet to be adequately characterized. Understanding the acoustic behavior of hydrates in liquids, in bubbly liquids, and in sediments containing liquids and/or gas is vital for surveying their location using seismic or echosounding techniques and may become a key tool for monitoring hyd...
متن کاملStructural stability of silica at high pressures and temperatures
The high-pressure phase diagram of SiO2 has been calculated using density-functional perturbation theory. We find that phase transitions of silica do not correspond to any observed seismic discontinuities within the Earth. We analyze the breakdown of close packing occurring in SiO2 above 200 GPa and conclude that it is due to asphericity and deformability of ions, which can generally lead to th...
متن کاملThermodynamics of Clathrate Hydrate at Low and High Pressures
The thermodynamic stability of clathrate hydrate is calculated under a wide range of temperature and pressure conditions applicable to solar system problems, using a statistical mechanical theory developed by van der Waals and Platteeuw (1959) and existing experimental data on properties of clathrate hydrates and their components. At low pressure, dissociation pressures and partition functions ...
متن کاملStability of xenon oxides at high pressures.
Xenon, which is quite inert under ambient conditions, may become reactive under pressure. The possibility of the formation of stable xenon oxides and silicates in the interior of the Earth could explain the atmospheric missing xenon paradox. Using an ab initio evolutionary algorithm, we predict the existence of thermodynamically stable Xe-O compounds at high pressures (XeO, XeO(2) and XeO(3) be...
متن کاملWhen immiscible becomes miscible—Methane in water at high pressures
At low pressures, the solubility of gases in liquids is governed by Henry's law, which states that the saturated solubility of a gas in a liquid is proportional to the partial pressure of the gas. As the pressure increases, most gases depart from this ideal behavior in a sublinear fashion, leveling off at pressures in the 1- to 5-kbar (0.1 to 0.5 GPa) range with solubilities of less than 1 mole...
