A prediction model is developed by means of artificial neural networks (ANNs) to determine the gas hydrate formation kinetics in multiphase gas dominant pipelines with crude oil. Experiments are conducted to determine the rate of formation and reaction kinetics of hydrates formation in multiphase systems. Based on the results, an artificial intelligence model is proposed to predict the gas hydrate formation rate in multiphase transmission pipelines. Two ANN models are suggested with single-layer perceptron (SLP) and multilayer perceptron (MLP). The MLP shows more accurate prediction when compared to SLP. The models were predicted accurately with high prediction accuracy both for the pure and multiphase systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
