The difference in metal ion or oxygen concentration between the crevice and its surroundings is the main reason for crevice corrosion.

The difference in metal ion or oxygen concentration between the crevice and its surroundings is the main reason for crevice corrosion. Correct Answer True

Crevice corrosion is mainly occurred due to the difference in metal ion or oxygen concentration between the crevice and its surroundings. This is due to the unavailability of oxygen in the crevice, this results in the dissolution of metal in a crevice by protecting adjacent surface cathodically.

A bacterial culture having a specific oxygen uptake rate of 5 mmol O2 (g DCW)-1 hr-1 is being grown aerobically in a fed-batch bioreactor. The maximum value of the volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient is 0.18 s-1 for the stirred tank bioreactor and the critical dissolved oxygen concentration is 20% of the saturation concentration (8 mg mL-1). The maximum density to which the cells can be grown in the fed-batch process without the growth being limited by oxygen transfer, is approximately
