Clathrate Hydrates of Natural Gases, Second Edition, Revised and Expanded (Chemical Industries) - Tapa dura

...a welcomed revision of its excellent predecessor....second edition....updates the level of understanding from nearly 60 years of active research, providing a single record of most of the thermodynamic data obtained since 1934....a well-integrated compendium of research methods, results, and interpretations reported from numerous investigators around the globe, tied together by the key issues, concepts, and perspectives that have emerged from the literature of the last half-century.... ...Clathrate Hydrates of Natural Gases, 2nd Ed. is the definitive source on the subject...This second edition monograph by Professor Sloan does the hydrate community a tremendous and unparalleled service by integrating 60 years of gas hydrate research into a logical, useful, and relevant framework....a must-have for researchers, students, engineers, and industrial practitioners alike.

Striking a balance between theoretical and experimental perspectives, this book presents a historical overview of clathrate hydrates and examines future trends, reviews crystal structures and properties, reveals industrial applications of clathrate hydrates in the production and processing of natural gas, discusses hydrate kinetics and elucidates the current status of hydrate time dependence, analyzes time-independent phase equilibria, and more. With nearly 300 tables and illustrations, the book is a practical guide for chemical, design, process, petroleum, and mechanical engineers; chemists and geochemists; geologists; geophysicists; and graduate-level students in these disciplines.
