The main objective of this study was to present a novel approach to access more accurate hydrate formation rate predicting models based on the combination of flow-loop experimental data with learning power of artificial neural networks. Therefore, more than 2,300 data of C 1 , C 3 , i-C 4 , and CO 2 hydrate formation rate in the presence of two kinetic inhibitors (PVP and L-Tyrosine) and two inhibitor intensifying additives (PPO and PEO) was used. It was found that such models can be used as powerful tools, with total errors less than 2% for the developed models, in predicting hydrate formation rate in these cases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
