Description

This paper describes the theoretical understanding and development of the electrochemical corrosion potential (ECP) model and evaluates the effects of the various model parameters, such as O2 and H2 concentrations, flow rate and corrosion current of the substrate. However, in this paper, only oxygen was considered as an oxidizing species. The calculated ECP data show that a significant effect of flow rate is predicted at lower O2 concentrations. Also, the corrosion current of the substrate plays an important role to control the ECP. (author)
