Abstract
The scarcity of foreign exchange lends urgency to the study of corrosion of carbon steel in the design of automotive engines. A mathematical model is developed and solved by means of finite difference method. Agreement between theory and experiment is generally good, the discrepancy rarely exceeding 46%. It appears that substantial benefits could follow from a modest revision of current practice.
