چکیده

abstract: â in this study, the change in the crystalline structure of gas hydrate was predicted for ternary mixture of methane-ethane-water. for this purpose, the tangent plane distance (tpd) minimization method was used. first, the calculations were performed for the binary mixtures of methane-water and ethane-water as the gas and liquid phases. the results show that for a binary mixture of these components in the gas phase, at the temperatures of 274 k and 275 k, for a wide range of pressure, the phase remains stable however, the liquid phase is unstable and it splits into two or more new phases. the method was used for any possible new phases and the stable new phases determined by tpd minimization. by using this method for the ternary mixture at 20 different points (pressure and composition) at the temperature of 277.6 k, the results for stable phases are found to be consistent with the literature further, a structural change from si to sii is observed at methane mole fraction of 0.74, and another structural change from sii to si is observed at methane mole fraction of 0.99 at 277.6 k. this method can be used for the stability analysis of more points to predict the boundary of the phase diagram and stable zone for different phases. in this study, the genetic algorithm was used for minimization of tpd function.â

Changes in structure and preferential cage occupancy of ethane hydrate and ethane-methane mixed gas hydrate under high pressure

Structural changes and preferential cage occupancies were examined for ethane hydrate and ethane-methane mixed gas hydrates with five compositions in a pressure range of 0.2 to 2.8 GPa at room temperature. X-ray diffractometry and Raman spectroscopy showed the following structural changes. The initial structure, structure I (sI), of ethane hydrate was retained up to 2.1 GPa without any structur...

Experimental Measurement of Methane and Ethane Mole Fractions during Gas Hydrate Formation

The super-saturation condition has to be provided to form gas hydrates. Consequently, the prediction of the guest molecule fraction in the aqueous phase is crucial in the study of the gas hydrate kinetics. In the present work, several experiments were carried out in a semi-batch reactor in order to determine the mole fraction of methane and ethane during gas hydrates formation (growth stage...

A Fugacity Approach for Prediction of Phase Equilibria of Methane Clathrate Hydrate in Structure H

In this communication, a thermodynamic model is presented to predict the dissociation conditions of structure H (sH) clathrate hydrates with methane as help gas. This approach is an extension of the Klauda and Sandler fugacity model (2000) for prediction of phase boundaries of sI and sII clathrate hydrates. The phase behavior of the water and hydrocarbon system is modeled using the Peng-Robinso...
