#pre-screening

COSMO-RS is a tool used to pre-screen and pair ionic liquids for gas hydrate mitigation. However, the ionic liquids properties estimated from COSMO-RS lack direct connectivity to the determination of the safety margin (hydrate depression temperature) the inhibitor can alter on the hydrate phase boundary conditions. In this study, a parametric function that relates COSMO-RS estimated ionic liquid surface area and hydrogen bonding energies to the methane hydrate average depression temperature (∆T) have been presented. The statistical model in this study was developed using multiple linear regression techniques on about 90 data samples at 10 wt.% ionic liquids. The developed model in this work accurately predicts the methane hydrate average depression temperature with standard error of 3.14 and average deviation error of 0.92. Also, the ionic liquid surface area and hydrogen bonding energy contribute to hydrate inhibition by 23% and 77%, respectively. The model could predict the methane hydrate average depression temperature in the similar range as reported in literature. The findings in this work provide a simple and fast method of pre-screening and developing efficient ionic liquids gas hydrate inhibitors for use in the oil and gas industry.

Hey all. Seeing the movie tonight (with @youneedtostrut, huzzah!), and I have a few things I want to make sure everyone understands.

THINGS I’LL SAY PUBLICLY:

Whether I liked it or not. Simple yes I did, or no I didn’t. I won’t be giving my opinions or thoughts, or anything that could lead to spoilers or insinuations. 

THINGS I’LL DISCUSS IN PRIVATE:

Plot points and mild spoilers, if you ask, and state clearly you want the answers.

NOTE!

I know a lot of you want the answer to the Big Question, but I’m not giving away ANY major spoilers to non-mutuals.

AGAIN, I WON’T BE GIVING SPOILERS TO NON-MUTUALS.

Sorry, but I refuse to run the risk of accidentally spilling about the movie to a troll, who then goes and blabs all over tumblr. That said, if you want to know, and we have a mutual in common, get them to vouch for you. I’ll consider it then.

Probably not, no. And when I say ‘probably’, I may say something to the extent of 'I loved it’, but nothing else. It’s just too easy to interpret based on a reaction – to make inferences and such. And I may not be a lot of things, but one thing I AM is a spoiler-free zone.

I AM SO JEALOUS AND SO HAPPY FOR YOU AT THE SAME TIME!!! It's a very confusing feeling.

ME TOO BB! :D

YOU’RE GOING????? SIT WITH ME!!!!
