Abstract
We present data on the effect the pH value of liquid film has on the rate of erosion-corrosion processes in the metal of thermal and nuclear power station elements operating with two-phase flows. We also suggest a calculation diagram and an engineering procedure for determining the pH value of liquid phase in the wet-steam paths of power units depending on the concentration of corrective additions, steam wetness ratio, and temperature.
