Formula 1.49

Gas hydrate dissociation pressure

Input(s)

$\gamma_{h}$: Specific Gravity of Hydrate-forming Components (dimensionless)

$F_{m}$: Molar Ratio between the Non-hydrate-forming and Hydrate-forming Components (dimensionless)

$\mathrm{T}$: Temperature $\left({ }^{\circ} \mathrm{R}\right)$

Output(s)

$\mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{h}}$: Disassociation Pressure $(\mathrm{psi})$

Formula(s)

$$ \begin{aligned} \mathrm{p}_{\mathrm{h}}= & 0.1450377 * \exp \left\{\left[\frac{2.50744 * 10^{-3}}{\left(\gamma_{\mathrm{h}}+0.46852\right)^{3}}+F_{m} *\left(1.214644 * 10^{-2}\right)+\left(-4.676111 * 10^{-4}\right) * \mathrm{~F}_{\mathrm{m}}^{2}+0.0720122\right]\right. \\ & \left.* \mathrm{~T}+\frac{3.6625 * 10^{-4}}{\left(\gamma_{h}+(-0.485054)\right)^{3}}+\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{m}} *(-5.44376)+F_{m}{ }^{2} *\left(3.89 * 10^{-3}\right)+(-29.9351)\right\} \end{aligned} $$
