Molecular Simulation Study for CO2 Clathrate Hydrate

The present work has concentrated on the structure of CO₂ hydrate in the NPT ensemble using SPC (simple point charge) intermolecular potential model of water by the Monte Carlo (MC) molecular simulation. A mixture of water and CO₂ placed arbitrarily in a cubic cell has been used as a model system to simulate the CO₂ clathrate hydrate at temperatures ranging from 150–280 K and pressure up to 10 MPa. The result shows that the obtained MC simulation agrees well with the results obtained by molecular dynamic (MD) simulation. The present work is also directed to the study of structure with TIP4P potential model of water.     

Measurements of methane hydrate heat of dissociation using high pressure differential scanning calorimetry

The methane hydrate heat of decomposition was directly measured up to 20 MPa and 292 K using a high pressure differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The methane hydrate sample was formed ex-situ using granular ice particles and subsequently transferred into the DSC cell under liquid nitrogen. The ice and water impurities in the hydrate sample were reduced by converting any dissociated hydrate into methane hydrate inside the DSC cell before performing the thermal properties measurements. The methane hydrate sample was dissociated by raising the temperature (0.5-1.0 K/min) above the hydrate equilibrium temperature at a constant pressure. The measured methane hydrate heat of dissociation (H→W+G), ΔH_d, remained constant at 54.44±1.45 kJ/mol gas (504.07±13.48 J/gm water or 438.54± 13.78 J/gm hydrate) for pressures up to 20 MPa. The measured ΔH_d is in agreement with the Clapeyron equation predictions at high pressures; however, the Clausius-Clapeyron equation predictions do not agree with the heat of dissociation data at high pressures. In conclusion, it is recommended that the Clapeyron equation should be used for hydrate heat of dissociation estimations at high pressures.     

Kinetics of methane hydrate decomposition

The kinetics of methane hydrate decomposition was studied using a semibatch stirred-tank reactor. The decomposition was accomplished by reducing the pressure on a hydrate slurry in water to a value below the three-phase equilibrium pressure at the reactor temperature. The data were obtained at temperatures from 274 to 283 K and pressures from 0.17 to 6.97 MPa. The stirring rates were high enough to eliminate mass-transfer effects. Analysis of the data indicated that the decomposition rate was proportional to the particle surface area and to the difference in the fugacity of methane at the equilibrium pressure and the decomposition pressure. The proportionality constant showed an Arrhenius temperature dependence. An estimate of the hydrate particle diameters in the experiments permitted the development of an intrinsic model for the kinetics of hydrate decomposition.     

Methane Hydrate Formation and Dissociation in the presence of Bentonite Clay Suspension

The present work reports the effect of bentonite clay on methane hydrate formation and dissociation in synthetic seawater of salinity 3.55 % of total dissolved salts. Extensive observations of pressure‐temperature equilibrium during formation and decomposition of methane hydrate under different conditions have been made. It is observed that phase equilibrium conditions of hydrate are affected on changing the concentration of bentonite clay in synthetic seawater. Induction time for hydrate nucleation has been measured under different concentrations of clay and subcooling conditions. The presence of bentonite clay in synthetic seawater reduces the induction time of hydrate formation. Enthalpy of hydrate dissociation is calculated by Clausius‐Clapeyron equation using measured phase equilibrium data. The amount of gas consumed during hydrate formation has been calculated using real gas equation. It is found that a larger amount of gas is consumed upon addition of bentonite clay in synthetic seawater.     

Influence of water model and nanotube rigidity on the density of water in carbon nanotubes

The density of water calculated through molecular dynamic simulations using different water models and rigid/flexible carbon nanotubes is studied. A previous equation, determined in an earlier work in order to correlate density and nanotube diameter, is tested against these new data. It is demonstrated that this equation provides a reasonable approximation for all the configurations investigated. It is also confirmed that the use of flexible nanotube models does not bring any significant improvement and the average carbon dislocation is small compared to the size of the water molecules. Comparison between SPC/E and TIP3P models, furthermore, shows that the first model leads to polygonal water structures, which are not evident in the other case.
