Correlation Of Drag Reducing Data In Dilute Polymer Solutions, Jorge Mario Rodriguez

"The purpose of this investigation was to obtain a correlation for drag reducing solutions in circular tubes under turbulent conditions. Data were taken for three polymer-solvent systems: polymethyl methacrylate V-100 (Mv ~ 110,000) in toluene, polyisobutylene L-200 (Mv ~ 4,700,000) in toluene, and polyisobutylene L-200 in cyclohexane. The data from the two polyisobutylene systems, together with other data on polymethyl methacrylate G (Mv ~ 1,500,000) in toluene and polyisobutylene L-80 (Mv ~ 860,000) in cyclohexane, were used to attempt to obtain the correlation. The V-100 solutions were not used because they were not drag reducing.
