The ability to reduce the frictional drag in turbulent flow in pipes and channels by addition of a small amount of a high molecular weight polymer has application in myriad industries and processes. Here, the drag reduction properties of the polyelectrolyte xanthan are explored in differing solvent
## Abstract Drag reduction measurements were conducted on extensively characterized poly(ethylene oxide) and poly(acrylamide) utilizing a fully automated rotating disk rheometer equipped with an optical tachometer, torque transducer, and software allowing realβtime data acquisition. The instrument
