Most corrosion is an electrochemical reaction. Anything that affects the speed of the chemical reaction will in turn affect the amount of current flow, which will affect the rate of corrosion. The rate of corrosion is directly proportional to the amount of current in the electrochemical corrosion cell. If the current can be measured accurately, then an exact calculation of the metal loss can be made. 2.2.1 ELECTRICAL EFFECTS ON THE RATE OF CORROSION Any issue that have an effect on the…

Superfluid helium or He II is a macroscopic quantum fluid that exhibits extraordinary properties. %By applying the limit of low flow velocities, The behavior of the fluid can be understood using a Landau - Tisza model, where He II is considered to be a two-component fluid with independent velocity fields: the inviscid superfluid of density $\rho_s$, and the normal fluid of density $\rho_n$, where the total density $\rho$ = $\rho_s$ + $\rho_n$ \cite{Tisza,Landau}. The superfluid has neither…
