Hydrate Formation in a Batch Reactor by cheddargirl ========== Instructions: Use the arrow keys to navigate between screens. Click the button on the bottom right hand corner to pull up sources if desired. Click screen to exit.
Outside of Scratch, I've been doing some scientific research. One of the topics I've been researching is the effect of surfactants on hydrate formation. Here's a Scratch project explaining a [very] small part of that research. ========== Sorry for the very small text. I wanted to use both big text and big diagrams, but Scratch's stage is so small! So you get big diagrams with small text. -> To the kids: Guys, I've tried to make this as easy to understand as possible. Some important words are in ALL CAPS. If you're having trouble understanding something, tell me and I'll see if I can make it easier to understand. -> To the adult scientists passing by: Most Scratchers are younger users, this project is geared towards younger kids who only have a fairly basic understanding of math and science concepts. Please understand that a lot of things have been taken out, and some science/engineering vocabulary has been avoided for simplicity. ========== Sources: - Images: Unless otherwise indicated, images were drawn by me.

Use the peer-reviewed sources I listed instead; all information can be found in the sources in the bottom right corner. Or better yet, read the thesis paper I wrote about hydrate formation: http://academicworks.cuny.edu/cc_etds_theses/86/
