Modelling on Corrosion Inhibitor Kinetics in Carbon Steel Pipe used in Oil Industry

摘要

A model to explain the kinetics of corrosion inhibitor is proposed here. The model is based on Transition State Theory. Our model has many similarities with Michelis-Menten Kinetics. The kinetics difference between uninhibited corrosion and inhibited corrosion is presented. Our model showed the inhibitor could suppress the corrosion rate.
