Description/Abstract:
A GENERAL EQUATION IS DERIVED WHICH EXPRESSES ALUMINUM CORROSION RATE AS A FUNCTION OF POWER, TEMPERATURE AND PH. THE CORROSION RATE IS GIVEN BY THE EQUATIONS:
LOG C.R.= 2.68 + 2602 OVER T+273 + 0.036P + 0.52 PH
WHERE C.R. = CORROSION RATE IN MILS PER MONTH; T=LOCLA BULK WATER TEMPERATURE; AND P=SLUG POWER IN KW/8 IN SLUG. THE EQUATION APPLIES OVER A TEMPERATURE RANGE OF 40 TO 200 C.
