The effect of polymer concentration on drag reduction was studied experimentally with dilute distilled water solutions of a polyacrylamide and a polyethyleneoxide, molecular weights 4.7 and 1.3 x 1 OB respectively, in a 0~94.5 cm i.d. pipe. During drag reduction the polymer solutions obeyed friction

The frictional drag reduction of high molecular weight poly(ethy1ene oxide) and polystyrene solutions under turbulent flow conditions has been studied as a function of temperature, solvent power, and solvent viscosity. A rotatingdisc apparatus was used to make the drag reduction measurements. For aq
The rheological response of dilute solutions of high molecular weight polyacrylamides a t low shear rates has been measured using a capillary viscometer that provided for a fivefold variation in shear rate at each concentration. The non-Newtonian effects were found to be significant for polyacrylami
