**2.4 Effects of concentration and temperature variations on corrosion inhibition**

The data obtained from the banana peel extraction experiments were analyzed statistically using factorial method to obtain a linear fit for the inhibition of mild steel corrosion under varied concentration and temperature. The mathematical model was generated by a MINITAB 17.0. Regression analysis was performed to correlate the response variable to the independent variables. The quality of the fit of the model was evaluated using analysis of variance (ANOVA), where the response was the inhibition efficiency; while concentration and temperature of BPE solution were the input variables.
