HYDRATE NUCLEATION MEASUREMENTS USING HIGH PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL SCANNING CALORIMETRY

Understanding when hydrates will nucleate has notable importance in the area of flow assurance. Attempts to model hydrate formation in subsea pipelines currently requires an arbitrary assignment of a nucleation subcooling. Previous studies showed that sII hydrate containing a model water-soluble for...
