Prospects for the Development of Phase Equilibrium Estimation of Clathrate Hydrates Based on van der Waals & Platteeuw Model
—Report from the Symposium at the 53rd High Pressure Conference of Japan—

Abstract

  The symposium “Development in Scientific Researches on Gas Hydrates” was held at the 53^rd High Pressure Conference of Japan on November 2012. After some presentations in the symposium, the possibilities of improving or transcending the van der Waals & Platteeuw model for the phase equilibrium estimation including clathrate hydrate phase were discussed. In this article, a part of the discussion was reported.
