Abstract
The fourth chapter presents the reader with the various methods to predict hydrate formation conditions. It includes the simplest hand calculation methods to more sophisticated computer-based models. Hydrate formation kinetics (how fast hydrates form) are also discussed. Different models which describe the rate of hydrate formation are shown along with the thermodynamic driving force used in each.
