The estimation of the cooling tower height by modeling the water and air contact situation in cooling tower falling film

  Deterioration of the filling material in traditional cooling towers is of serious concern. In this study, cooling towers of Arvand and Boualisia Petrochemical plants in the South of Iran are used as the filling material. The size of the cooling towers and outlet conditions are measured in a real situation and compared with heat and mass transfer correlations by modeling the towers and then calculating the...

Corrosion inhibition and adsorption behavior of methionine on Mg- Al-Zn alloy

  Corrosion inhibition behavior of Mg-Al-Zn alloy was investigated by different electrochemical techniques in neutral solutions containing chloride ions at different concentrations. The corrosion rate was calculated in the absence and presence of methionine as an environmentally safe corrosion inhibitor using polarization and impedance techniques. The results reveal that methionine inhibits the corrosion...
