Changing both the concentration of suggested inhibitor and the electrolyte temperature was found to affect the performance of the corrosion inhibition process. Studies were performed by measuring the cathodic tafel lines using the potentiodynamic polarization technique. The obtained experimental data were found to follow langmuir, fruendlich and temkin isotherms. Estimation of the value of activation energy and some thermodynamic parameters in presence and absence of inhibitor were carried out. Some quantum mechanical calculations were carried out indicating the charge distribution on the inhibitor molecule and this threw some light on its mode of adsorption on the metal surface UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
