The deepest thanks must first go to God, who has created me, accompanied me, and fortified me to deal with the problems all throughout my life. Truth must be said, I, in the second place, would like to gratefully thank my beloved mother, father, and brother for all their supports in all aspects of my life from the very beginning. I am also extremely thankful to my grandmother and my uncle, who thought me how to live with self-confidence. I literally would like to express greatest acknowledgments to my dear thesis directors, Prof. Dominique Richon and Dr. Amir H. Mohammadi. I will never forget their help and support during my PhD studies. I would like to say that I have gained much during their supervisions, which would be of utmost significance in my future career. Dr. Amir H. Mohammadi was not only my thesis supervisor but also a full source of support, from whom I learned how to think scientifically with a clear objective. I should admit that many of my works resulted from his outstanding novel ideas. I hope he would always be in the place he really deserves. I also would like to thank the staff members of the CEP/TEP laboratory of MINES ParisTech including the head, technicians, and secretaries. They provided me with a pleasant environment in which I had fruitful experiences about experimental thermodynamics as well as my life in France. I wish to gratefully thank Prof. Georgios Kontogeorgis to give me the opportunity of a research stay in his lively research group (CERE) at the Technical University of Denmark. I would also thank Dr. Eirini Karakatsani, who considerably helped me during my scientific activities at DTU. My new friends at DTU should also be acknowledged for their companionships during this stay. Funding from the Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR) as a part of the SECOHYA project, Orientation Stratégique des Ecoles des Mines (OSEM), INSTITUT CARNOT MINES; and a scholarship from the MINES ParisTech/ARMINES which allowed me to conduct this thesis are highly acknowledged. Prof. José O. Valderrama is gratefully acknowledged for very useful discussions and comments on the thermodynamic consistency test methods. I also thank Dr. Patrice Paricaud for his fruitful comments and suggestions on semi-clathrate hydrate model. The members of the SECOHYA project are gratefully thanked for their discussions during our regular national/international meetings. My dear friend, Farhad Gharagheizi, deserves to be highly acknowledged. Collaboration with him gave me the opportunity of getting familiar with important scientific aspects. I am sure his outstanding talent makes him to be very successful in his future career. 5 Significant thanks should be dedicated to my dear friends in France: Amir A. Karimi, Marco Campestrini, Dr. Moussa Dicko, Dr. Chien Bin Soo, Haifan Liu, and Veronica Belandria. I wish you all success in your entire life. In this step, I wish to state my highest gratitude to the jury members, whose names and fames have resulted in my great honor. Many thanks for taking their valuable time. Finally, I would like to emphasize my interest in solving problems of humanity by application of what I gained throughout my studies as this is the best way of using the abilities that have been bestowed on every man.
