The existence of water beside gas has led to the creation of gas hydrate formation phenomenon in these pipelines. The phenomenon causes to basic financial and operational problems in the system. For this reason, the flow purpose of the present study was to simulate the formation condition in a specific flow and thermodynamic conditions and finally to provide the best possible solution to this problem. The Van Der Waals & Plague equation was used to thermodynamic modeling in the terms of temperature and pressure and the computer coding was carried out by MATLAB software. In addition, the results of Green & Perry study were used to utilize from physical characteristics, such as critical temperature, critical pressure, acentric factor and the temperature of quadruple points of elements forming hydrate .the results of this study indicated that increasing the concentration of inhibitor in system at the specified temperature, delay the hydrate formation. Moreover, temperature rising can also increase the effect of solvents. Therefore, two parameters of ambient temperatures in hot seasons or using heaters for pipelines can reduce the risk to a minimum in critical (sensitive) points. Finally, the used model in this design which has had some changes in variables properly can see the needs and meanwhile it is usable for other similar changes by a brief change.Downloads

Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication
The Ciência e Natura journal is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles.
Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.
In particular,
Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review Articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
