Description
Computerized modeling techniques have been developed for the
analysis of polarization behavior, using the expected
chemical reactions and transport phenomena applicable to the
formation of calcareous deposits. The method uses the ADINAT
finite element heat transfer program and is modeled, as much
as possible, on theory rather than laboratory measurements.
In contrast, the presently available cathodic protection
computer models base their polarization behavior on
empirical data. The thesis presents experimental versus
theoretical data for a simple flat plate configuration under
cathodic protection in natural sea water over a range in
temperatures. The flat plate allows for a simplified
experimental apparatus and simplifies the derivation of
equations for the transport phenomena. The program can,
however, handle complex three dimensional geometries.
Effects of temperature and flow on the formation and
protection of calcareous deposits are also discussed in
light of the experimental results.
