The role of dimensionless groups in experiments concerned with corrosion in the presence and in the absence of heat transfer is reviewed with specific reference to the design of experiments, the analysis of the data, and the application of the data in technical work. The derivation of useful dimensionless groups using the method of Similitude is described and demonstrated. The utility of the resulting dimensionless quantities is demonstrated and evaluated by application to available data on corrosion measurements with and without heat transfer.
