The turbulent drag reduction characteristics of the rod-like polysaccharide xanthan gum dissolved in water was investigated using a rotating disk apparatus. The ultrasonic degra~tion method was adopted to obtain polymer fractions of different molecular weights of xanthan gum for this study. The drag

## 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
Early work in catalyst deactivation usually involved empirical methods specific for a particular reaction. HOWever, more recently, fundamental approaches, involving direct gradient search techniques or indirect variational Pommersheim. methods, have been used to model catalyst deactivation
The structure of polyethylenimine in aqueous and ethanolic solutions was investigated by measuring the fluorescence polarization of dansyl conjugates. In aqueous solutions, all polyethylenimines, whatever their molecular weight, are associated into large aggregates containing rotating units having r
