Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The effects of polymer chain flexibility, molecular weight and entanglement capacity, and of polymer solution concentration on drag reduction in nonpolar solvents were studied in this investigation. Three samples of polydimethyl siloxane in toluene, five samples of polyethylene oxide in benzene, two samples of cis-polyisoprene in toluene, trans-polyisoprene in toluene, cis-polybutadiene in toluene, ethyl cellulose in toluene and a copolymer of epichlorohydrin and polyethylene oxide in toluene were studied. Molecular weights of all polymers were estimated from intrinsic viscosity, except for the molecular weight of the copolymer which was given by the manufacturer. Turbulent and laminar flow pressure drop data were obtained in four capillary tubes (0.107, 0.0642, 0.0328 and 0.0104 inch ID) for all the polymer-solvent systems. Turbulent flow pressure drop data for some of the above polymer-solvent systems were also obtained in the pipe flow unit (2.0, 1.0 and 0.51 inch ID). For a given tube, at lower concentrations the normal transition region appeared between laminar and turbulent regions; as the concentration increased, the transition tended to disappear. At constant solution concentration, the transition region tended to disappear as the tube diameter decreased ... Correlations were obtained for estimating the amount of drag reduction for "dilute" and "concentration" solutions. Both correlations were tested with the polymer-solvent systems studied in this investigation and with data obtained from literature ... The effect of degradation on drag reduction was more noticeable at lower concentrations than at higher concentrations. This suggests that the absolute rate of molecular degradation may have been approximately the same for all concentrations of any polymer whose wall shear stresses (or shear rates) were of the same magnitude at any given flow rate. In the dilute solutions a significant number of the effective molecules were degraded while in the more concentrated solutions, the same amount of degradation had a much smaller effect on the drag reducing capacity of the solutions"--Abstract, leaves i-iii.

This book was released on 1973 with total page 618 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary objective of an experimental investigation was to study the effect that a drag-reducing polymer has on the turbulent boundary layer of a submerged flat plate using a Laser-Doppler flowmeter. Data are presented showing the time effects caused by polymer solution drag-reduction degradation on the mean velocity and axial fluctuating-velocity profiles. The importance of the data is that it provides a connection between the apparently diverse results reported previously for the velocity profiles at conditions of high and low drag-reduction effectiveness. The polymer molecules' effect on the boundary layer structure is apparently progressively restricted to the near wall region with decreasing drag reduction in agreement with the mean velocity profiles.

Download or read book Effect of Polymer Coiling on Drag Reduction written by and published by . This book was released on 1966 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tube flow data indicate that the drag reduction of high molecular weight polymer solutions decreases in an orderly fashion with inc.eased molecular coiling of the polymer. A correlating equation for this effect is presented. For three polymers at four concentrations the maximum drag reduction was obtained at temperatures less than 105F and at 140F solutions of all three polymers suffered a decrease in drag reduction. A graphical relationship is presented that qualitatively correlates the variation of viscosity and drag reduction caused by a variation in temperature. A decrease in drag reduction occurs if low concentration of high molecular weight polymers are subjected to steady state turbulent tube flow. A slow decrease in viscosity of high molecular weight solutions due to physical adsorption on the solid surfaces in glassware as well as chemical degradation during static storage can be mitigated by adding isopropanol or using deionized water. The average molecular weight of different samples of the same polymer can vary by as much as 50 percent. (Author).

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Symposium on "The Influence of Polymer Additives on Veloc ity and Temperature Fields" was proposed to the General Assem bly of the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Me chanics (IUTAM) by the "Gesellschaft fur Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik" (GAMM). The Symposium was held under the auspices of IUTAM in association with the "Deutsche Rheologische Ge sellschaft" (DRG) with responsibility for the organization ly ing with B. Gampert (Universitat-GH-Essen). The main aim of this IUTAM Symposium was to consider the funda mental aspects of the phenomena that occur when small amounts of polymers are added to turbulent flows (turbulent drag re duction) and laminar porous media flows. In particular atten tion was devoted to - the influence of molecular parameters of the polymers and solution properties, especially the elongational viscosity, on turbulent flow and laminar porous media flow; the influence of polymers on the turbulence structure in polymer drag reduction

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 3.18-cm-ID smooth turbulent flow pipe facility was utilized to measure the drag-reduction characteristics of three polymer solutions: Polyox WSR-301, Separan 237, and Magnifloc 835A. A rotating disk was used to degrade the polymer solutions, and accurate control was maintained over the energy used to agitate (shear degrade) them. Quantitative data were obtained on the relationship between degradation and drag reduction for these three polymers and for blended solutions prepared by mixing two different polymers in various proportions.

This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drag Reduction of Turbulent Flows by Additives is the first treatment of the subject in book form. The treatment is extremely broad, ranging from physicochemical to hydromechanical aspects. The book shows how fibres, polymer molecules or surfactants at very dilute concentrations can reduce the drag of turbulent flow, leading to energy savings. The dilute solutions are considered in terms of the physical chemistry and rheology, and the properties of turbulent flows are presented in sufficient detail to explain the various interaction mechanisms. Audience: Those active in fundamental research on turbulence and those seeking to apply the effects described. Fluid mechanical engineers, rheologists, those interested in energy saving methods, or in any other application in which the flow rate in turbulent flow should be increased.

Book excerpt: The series Topics in Current Chemistry presents critical reviews of the present and future trends in modern chemical research. The scope of coverage is all areas of chemical science including the interfaces with related disciplines such as biology, medicine and materials science. The goal of each thematic volume is to give the non-specialist reader, whether in academia or industry, a comprehensive insight into an area where new research is emerging which is of interest to a larger scientific audience. Each review within the volume critically surveys one aspect of that topic and places it within the context of the volume as a whole. The most significant developments of the last 5 to 10 years are presented using selected examples to illustrate the principles discussed. The coverage is not intended to be an exhaustive summary of the field or include large quantities of data, but should rather be conceptual, concentrating on the methodological thinking that will allow the non-specialist reader to understand the information presented. Contributions also offer an outlook on potential future developments in the field. Review articles for the individual volumes are invited by the volume editors. Readership: research chemists at universities or in industry, graduate students.
Download or read book Drag Reduction and Degradation of Dilute Polymer Solutions in Turbulent Pipe Flows written by T. T. Huang and published by . This book was released on 1971 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drag reduction caused by dilute polyethylene oxide (POLYOX WSR-301) and anionic charged polyacrylimide (MAGNIFLOC 835A) polymer solutions was studied experimentally in 1.918- and 0.455-cm ID smooth pipes. The POLYOX solutions tested are superior in drag reduction but inferior in shear-degradation resistance compared to the MAGNIFLOC solutions at corresponding concentrations. A three-layer mean velocity profile model appears to be more consistent with current and other data than a traditional two-layer model. The onset of measured drag reduction depends upon solution concentration and is seriously affected by shear degradation. (Author).
Download or read book Drag Reduction and Shear Degradation of Dilute Polymer Solutions as Measured by a Rotating Disk written by T. T. Huang and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A saturated drag-reduction line for dilute polymer solutions is derived for a rotating disk from new velocity-similarity laws. Drag reduction measured by a rotating disk is found to have three domains--oversaturated, optimal and undersaturated. At a given boundary-layer thickness and wall-shear stress, the drag-reduction increases with increasing concentration in the undersaturated domain, and the drag reduction does not increase with increasing concentration in the oversaturated domain. The boundary between the two domains is the optimal drag reduction, which is determined by the type of polymer and its concentration and a Reynolds number based on shear velocity and disk radius or boundary-layer thickness.
