Abstract
The problem of interpreting the composition of clathrate hydrates formed under conditions of incomplete thermodynamic equilibrium is considered. It is shown that in real systems, hydrate formation often occurs in nonequilibrium regimes, in which the experimentally observed compositions of the hydrate phase differ from the maximum equilibrium values. To account for the degree of completion of the phase transformation, a dimensionless disequilibrium parameter is introduced that characterizes the transition of the system from the initial to the equilibrium state of the hydrate phase.
