Solubility of helium in ice Ih at pressures up to 2000 bar: experiment and calculations.

The solubility of helium in ice Ih has been examined both experimentally and theoretically. It has been demonstrated that the calculations are in good accord with the experimental data. The tested calculation method has been used for deriving the helium solubility in ice Ih at pressures up to 2000 bar and at temperatures of 0-50 °C.

Investigation of hydrate formation in the system H2-CH4-H2O at a pressure up to 250 MPa.

Phase equilibria in the system H2-CH4-H2O are investigated by means of differential thermal analysis within hydrogen concentration range 0-70 mol % and at a pressure up to 250 MPa. All the experiments were carried out under the conditions of gas excess. With an increase in hydrogen concentration in the initial gas mixture, decomposition temperature of the formed hydrates decreased.
