An assessment of inhibitor performance on corrosion rate of low carbon steel under flow condition

Abstract

The effect of flow velocity on the performance of neem seed oil on corrosion rate of low carbon steel was
investigated using the weight loss method. The coupons were flush mounted in inhibited and uninhibited
corrosive media for 96 h. The flow velocity was varied for Reynolds numbers of 3705, 3054, 2220 and 734. The
result showed that the inhibitor performed very well with time under flow conditions with better performance
at laminar flow.
