Abstract:Natural gas containing trace amounts of water is frequently
liquefied
at conditions where aqueous solids are thermodynamically stable. However,
no data are available to describe the kinetics of aqueous solid formation
at these conditions. Here, we present experimental measurements of
both solid formation kinetics and solid–fluid equilibrium for
trace concentrations of (12 ± 0.7) ppm water in methane using
a stirred, high-pressure apparatus and visual microscopy. Along isochoric
pathways with cooling rates arou… Show more
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.
