Abstract EN
The potential distribution in tubes of a heat exchanger is simulated when applying cathodic polarization to its extremes.
The comparison of two methods to achieve this goal is presented: a numeric solution based on boundary elements carried out with the commercial software Beasy-GID and a semianalytical method developed by the authors.
The mathematical model, the simplifications considered, and the problem solving are shown.
Since both approaches use polarization curves as a boundary condition, experimental polarization curves (voltage versus current density) were determined in the laboratory under flow conditions and cylindrical cell geometry.
The results obtained suggest the impossibility of extending the protection along the whole tube length; therefore, other protection methods are considered.
