NEUTRON DIFFRACTION AND EPSR SIMULATIONS OF THE HYDRATION STRUCTURE AROUND PROPANE MOLECULES BEFORE AND DURING GAS HYDRATE FORMATION

Fundamental understanding of the structural changes occurring during hydrate formation and inhibition is important in the development of new strategies to control hydrates in flowlines and in inhibitor design. Neutron diffraction coupled with Empirical Potential Structure Refinement (EPSR) simulat...
