Topological characteristics of multidimensional potential energy surfaces are explored and the full conformation space is mapped on the set of local minima. This map partitions conformation space into energy-dependent or temperature-dependent ‘‘attraction basins’’ and generates a ‘‘disconnectivity’’ graph that reflects the basin connectivity and characterizes the shape of the multidimensional s...

â  abstract: in this work, the kinetics of ethane hydrate formation has been studied experimentally and a kinetic model based on chemical affinity has been described for predicting the hydrate growth process in the stirred batch reactor at a constant volume. the experiments were done with both pure water and aqueous solution of sodium dodecyl sulfate (sds). the effect of sds on formation kineti...
