Naphthenic acid corrosion is most severe in _________ flow; in areas of high velocity or turbulence and in distillation towers where hot vapors condense to form liquid phase droplets.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Naphthenic acid corrosion is most severe in two-phase flow, where hot vapors condense to form liquid phase droplets. This is especially true in areas of high velocity or turbulence, such as in distillation towers. Single phase and three phase flows may also be subject to naphthenic acid corrosion, but the severity is generally less than in two-phase flow. There is no such thing as negative phase flow.
