IIT Bombay invites applications for Research Associate for the year 2021. The last date of application is 15 February 2021.
About the Project
Project title: Development of Guidelines for Corrosion Prevention of Water Pipelines
About the project: Steels and to some extent cast iron are extensively used for water and sewage pipelines. The primary advantage of employing them for this application is low cost and good mechanical properties. However, these materials suffer corrosion on exposure to water leading to pipeline failures.
In water pipeline, corrosion results in huge water loss. In addition, the water quality suffers and the internal walls become too rough, due to formation of tubercles resulting in reduction of pipeline capacity and increased power consumption.
Therefore, there is a need to control corrosion of water pipelines. The project aims at establishing a scientific understanding of the corrosion failure of the pipeline and predicting of corrosion of pipelines and finally bring out guidelines for implementation to prevent corrosion.
