Experimental and Modeling Investigation on Structure H Hydrate Formation Kinetics

In the current work, the kinetics of crystal H hydrate formation is modeled by using the chemical affinity model. The experiments were performed at constant temperatures of 274.15, 275.15, 275.65, 276.15 and 277.15 K. Methylcyclopentane (MCP) is used as sH former and methane is used as a help gas. The parameters of model (Ar and tK) are determined and the results show that the parameter of Ar/RT has a constant value at the first step and a different value at second step. These parameters were used to predicting experimental data. The results indicate that this model can predict experimental data very well at several conditions
