โฆ Synopsis
The emphasis is laid upon the presence of a dynamic parameter in the kinetic model of the dynamics of dilute polymer solutions. The parameter represents the strength of dynamical polymer-solvent interactions. The draining effect on transport properties is considered with due attention paid to this physically significant parameter. It is shown that most of the conventional dimensionless ratios such as Flory's P-factor, intrinsic viscosity factor, etc.. arc nonuniversal even in the scaling limit.

Addition of polymer molecules to solvents influences the turbulence characteristics and in turn it influences the macromixing and micromixing behaviour in such flows in a profound way. The mixing lengths in pipe flows of dilute polymer solutions are known to be several times larger than those for Ne
The problem of drag reduction in a helically coiled tube is examined experimentally. The general problems involved in the correlation of drag reduction data are analyzed critically, and some important recommendations are made based on the findings of this work. A phenomenological approach is suggest
