A Mathematical Model of the Life of the Metal in Process Equipment, Pipelines, and Their Structural Elements

Resumo

A physico-mathematical model for use in determining the life of the metal of the working elements of process equipment and pipelines as a function of the gaseohydrodynamic parameters of the media travelling in the equipment, the basic mechanical and geometric parameters of these elements, and the rate of corrosion of the metal, i.e., the degree of chemical corrosiveness of the medium, and the rate of ageing of the metal, is proposed.
