Simulation of CO2 Corrosion for Copper Pipes in Different PH and Temperatures

A flow mixture of carbon dioxide and water that passing through a copper pipe can cause significant copper corrosion. Rate of the corrosion depends to Properties such as pH andtemperature. In this paper, the effect of changing the temperature and pH to corrosion rate is investigated [1,2]. To this aim we selected 1-12 as pH and 20-100°C as different temperatures. Simulation of models helps us to understand complex dynamic processes. The corrosion processwas simulated in Comsol Multiphysics software.
