Heat
exchanger is animportant equipment used in
process industriesfor cooling and heating purposes. Its design
configuration which involves the flow of cold and hot fluids within the
exchangersubjects it to corrosion attack. The article utilized the principle of
mass and energy conservation in the development of weight and temperature
models to study the effect of corrosion on mild steel coupon inside the
exchanger containing water and Monoethanolamine (MEA). The models developed were resolved analytically using
Laplace Transform and simulated using Excel as simulation tool and data
obtained from experiment in the laboratory to obtain profiles of weight loss
and temperature as a function of time.The weightloss and performance of mild steel under various
corrosive conditions were examined which indicates the effect of corrosion on
the mild steel heat exchangerinwater and MEA media. The result shows that wateris more corrosive than MEA at higher temperatures
and at lower temperatures of 35°C and 1atm, MEA has inhibitive properties than water as
indicated by the weight loss result with time.The comparative analysis between the results
obtained from the model simulation and experimental results shows that the
result obtained from the model is more reliable and demonstrated better
performance characteristics as it clearly shows mild steel heat exchanger
experiences more
