Description
Summary:The problem of gas-liquid crystallization is re-visited in the framework of a two-film model. The moments of the crystal size distribution can be derived from a differential equation system. Instead of a numerical solution, we present here a general procedure to express analytically the asymptotic behaviour of the physical system. Thanks to this formulation, influence of different parameters can be easily identified and validated on experimental data which mainly concern methane hydrate crystallization. 1.
