Jp. Lederhos et al., A 1ST-ORDER METHOD OF HYDRATE EQUILIBRIUM ESTIMATION AND ITS USE WITHNEW STRUCTURES, Fluid phase equilibria, 83, 1993, pp. 445-454
First order correlations are presented for phase equilibria of two cla
thrate hydrates which have been known for the last half century. The c
orrelations are shown to apply to equilibria for a hydrate discovered
in 1987. Extrapolations to newer, relatively unknown hydrates (which h
ave been found only with unusual guests) suggest equilibrium condition
s for hydrocarbon components.
