Sloan and Fleyfel (Sloan, E.D. and Fleyfel, F., 1992. Hydrate dissocia
tion enthalpy and guest size. Fluid Phase Equilibria, 76: 123-140) cla
im that the dissociation enthalpies of hydrates are determined by the
size of the guest molecules, and that they are independent of the type
and concentration of the guest gas. This conclusion does not seem to
be obvious when the effect of the different amounts of water per mole
of gas are eliminated from the data.
