Localised corrosion of metal pipes were observed in a seawater pumping plant. The pipes were used to deliver seawater for cooling purposes to a thermal power plant. The cooling seawater contained high concentration of chloride salts and an average pH of 7.2. The surface of the interior surface of the pipes appeared to be uneven and filled with pits. Based on your prediction of the type of corrosion that has occurred, recommend THREE (3) suitable solutions to prevent this corrosion from occurring and ONE (1) best detection approach to probe the corrosion before it worsen.

Question

I want answers for partplease

subject is:  Corrosion and Protection of Materials

(a) It is known that structural design plays an important role in preventing corrosion. Hence,
as an engineer, you have been assigned to design appropriate anti-corrosion structures
to solve the following hypothetical problems (1-4). Based on your corrosion knowledge,
explain how such design is going to help solve the following problems.
Problem 1: Design a chemical drainage tank that has a reservoir and an outlet to
allow drainage when required
Problem 2: A T-shaped pipe that directs two incoming water flow (A and B) to an
outlet (C) without causing cavitation damage
Problem 3: Large water inlet (A) converges into a narrow pipe (B), design such a
structure that will not cause cavitation damage
Problem 4: Metal plate Y and Z are made of two different metals, design a structure
that will bind them together without causing galvanic/crevice corrosion
(b) Given the following template (Figure 5), explain the differences between impressed-
current cathodic protection (ICCP) and sacrificial anode technique by evaluating them
in terms of the set-up and underlying principles. Determine what is X, Y and Z for both
setups. Each setup should contain either an impressed current anode or a galvanic anode,
a steel pipe, its protective current flow and the presence/absence of an extermal power
source. Kindly redraw TWO (2) of the following template in your answer booklet.
