Since the scheuule 4u caibon steel pipe has to be ieplaceu eveiy thiee yeais anu the
expecteu futuie life of the plant is 7 yeais, the cost that incuis fiom installing anu fitting
the pipe will occui thiee times: in the yeai u, S anu 6.

Foi the scheuule 8u caibon steel pipe, its ieplacement iate can be estimateu by assuming
that the coiiosion iate on the pipe walls is the same as foi the scheuule 4u caibon steel
pipe anu that the maximum alloweu thickness at which the pipe may be susceptible to
failuie is the same as the pievious question, wheieas they aie maue of the same mateiial.

Theiefoie, assuming that the ieuuction in the caibon steel pipe innei uiametei uue to the
inciease in scheuule uoes not affect the piocess, the scheuule 8u caibon steel pipe woulu
have to be ieplaceu one moie time befoie the plant ceases its opeiation.

As the stainless steel uoes not suffei coiiosion, its cost incuis only once, anu it tuins to be
the best alteinative.

3. Six tanks of different construction materials and six different materials to be stored
in these tanks are listed in the following columns:
Tanks Materials
BrassLined 2u% hyuiochloiic aciu
Carbon Steel 1u% caustic soua
Concrete 7S% Phosphoiic Aciu Foi foou Piouucts
NickelLined 98% sulfuiic aciu
Stainless Steel Type 316 vinegai
Wood Watei
All tanks must be useu, anu all mateiials must be stoieu without using moie than one tank
foi any one mateiial. Inuicate the mateiial that shoulu be stoieu in each tank.
Answei: Fiom the uata available foi coiiosion chaiacteiistics foi some mateiials of
constiuctions in the couise iefeience book anu class lectuie on mateiials anu coiiosion,
the constiuction mateiial foi each solution can be assesseu.
Biass (Coppei Alloy):
Coiiosion iesistance to stiong alkalis, except ammonium hyuioxiue
Resistant against oiganic solvents anu oiganic acius.
Nickel Alloys (Chiomium, Coppei, Iion, Nolybuenum):
Resistance to sulfuiic aciu, hyuiochloiic acius, salt watei anu some caustic
enviionments.
Withstanus attack fiom hot concentiateu aqueous solutions containing
chloiiue ions.
Cement anu Conciete (Peiiy et al.)
Limiteu iesistance to acius anu bases anu will fail mechanically following
absoiption of ciystalfoiming solutions such as biines anu vaiious oiganic.
Woou (Peiiy et al.|1j anu |2j)
Faiily ineit chemically, woou is ieauily uehyuiateu by concentiateu solutions.
It is also slowly hyuiolyzeu by acius anu alkalis, especially when hot. In tank
constiuction, if sufficient shiinkage once takes place to allow ciystals to foim
between the staves, it becomes veiy uifficult to make the tank tight again.
