Flow Reactor Materials Compatibility Lab — 2D

Pick a tube material and a process fluid, tune temperature and exposure time, and watch a 2D unrolled flow-reactor coil corrode using a real Arrhenius degradation model — pan and zoom the coil, with live corrosion rate, wall-remaining and time-to-failure readouts.

ControlsButtons select tube material (PTFE, PFA, Hastelloy C-276, 316 Stainless, Borosilicate Glass) and process fluid (Strong Acid, Strong Base, Oxidizer, Halogenated Solvent, Mild Hydrocarbon); sliders set temperature (20-150 C) and exposure time (0-20,000 h). Drag on the canvas to pan across the unrolled coil and scroll/pinch to zoom into pitting sites.

Choosing tubing for a continuous-flow chemical reactor is a materials-compatibility problem, not just a plumbing one: the wrong material meeting the wrong reagent at the wrong temperature can thin a tube wall to failure in hours. This 2D companion renders the reactor coil unrolled into its side-elevation profile (the same helix, viewed edge-on as a travelling wave) and applies a corrected Arrhenius thermal-activation model to a chosen tube material and process fluid, so raising the temperature slider visibly accelerates wall loss and pitting exactly as it would in a real accelerated-corrosion test — with live corrosion-rate, wall-remaining and time-to-failure readouts driving the color of the coil itself. Drag to pan across the coil and scroll to zoom in on individual pitting sites.
