There are extensive applications of lithium bromide-water absorption chillers in industry, but the heat exchangers corrosion and refrigerating capacity loss are very difficult to be solved. In this paper, an experiment was conducted by using plastic heat transfer tubes instead of copper tubes. As an example, for a lithium bromide-water absorption chiller of refrigerating capacity of 35kW, the c...

The problems of corrosion and deposit are crucial issues in the pipelines of the chemical, nuclear and petrochemical industries. Radiography (neutron, gamma, X-ray) has long been used as a technique for pipe inspection and corrosion monitoring. The 10MW Budapest research reactor site is a source of various energy neutron (thermal and epithermal) and gamma radiation. The detector system was a Pe...

The number of aging nuclear power plants (NPPs) has increased recently. Accordingly, the number of operational interruptions has increased due to malfunctions of the NPPs secondary systems. These cases occur in the secondary systems of NPPs with a range of structures due to fatigue, wall-thinned defects, corrosion, etc. Of these problems, wall thinned defects occur in the pipes by the diffusion...

Well functioning water networks are essential to the sustainability of a community. Large transmission and distribution water mains are often the most sensitive components of these networks since their failure can be catastrophic. Furthermore, due to the high cost of these pipes, the system does not usually provide redundancy to enable decommission for maintenance and rehabilitation. Hence, fai...

Since many household systems are fabricated out of metallic materials, changes to the household environment that accelerate corrosion rates will increase the frequency of failures in these systems. Recently, it has been reported that homes constructed with imported wallboard have increased failure rates in appliances, air conditioner heat exchanger coils, and visible corrosion on electrical wir...

the effect of metallurgical parameters influencing the susceptibility of the steel grades, used for gas and oil pipe, to hydrogen induced cracking and sulfide stress corrosion cracking has been studied. the study of the recent investigations suggests that the shape and the nature of inclusions, microstructures, sulfur content and desulfurization as well as the nature of alloying elements in ste...

The evolution of the corrosion interface separating the uncorroded concrete part and the corroded part of a partially wet concrete wall of a pipe under the innuence of hydrogen sullde can be modelled by a moving boundary problem for three coupled one-dimensional diiusion equations. We show that the problem formulated via weak solutions is well-posed. The function describing the position of the ...
