Investigation of small inhibitor effects on methane hydrate formation in a carbon nanotube using molecular dynamics simulation

Effects of five small inhibitors on methane hydrate formation in carbon nanotube have been investigated in this work. The better thermodynamic inhibitor leads to more disorder in the structure of confined water molecules in the CNT, the O–O RDF.
