Popis:	Significant factors controlling gas hydrate growth in water and water-in-oil dispersions have been tested. In particular, the influence of shear rate, presence of oil, and thermodynamic driving force (represented by pressure supersaturation) on hydrate growth rates is included. Formation rates in water show some discrepancy compared to previous work, which is likely caused by differences in the apparatus geometries. A model is proposed for growth of hydrate in oil, in which a hydrate shell forms on a water droplet, followed by additional conversion of the water core to hydrate.
