Abstract

The diffusion controlled corrosion of a cooling system composed of an array of vertical tubes attached to the inner wall of a fixed bed reactor containing plastic Raschig rings was studied by a rapid technique which involves the diffusion controlled dissolution of copper in acidified dichromate. Variables studied were solution velocity, Raschig rings diameter, vertical tube height and the presence of surface active agent. The present data were correlated by a dimensionless equation. The presence of surface active agents decreased the rate of mass transfer by an amount ranging from 7.5 to 36.2 depending on the operating conditions. Implications of the present results for the design and operation of built-in cooling systems of fixed bed reactors was highlighted. Also the possible use of the obtained equation in calculating the rate of heat transfer by analogy was discussed.
