Abstract: Mathematical modeling is richly endowed with many analytic computational techniques for analyzing real life situations. Recent reports have confirmed that several billon dollars were lost to corrosion, in addition to environmental pollution and economic wastage in cleaning up the environmental mess caused by corrosion. This paper considers application of mathematical modeling to corrosion problems. It uses the mathematical modeling techniques to forecast the life expectancy of industrial equipment in the refinery, petroleum reservoirs and gas pipelines= distribution. The models considered in this direction are the heat-mass transfer equation, Zhim-Hoffman=s equation, equations arising from electrolysis and finally gas pipeline distribution.
