Investigation of drag reduction by slurry-like drag-reducing agent in microtube flow using response surface methodology (RSM)

Abstract In this study, we investigated the drag reduction property of a premixed slurry drag reducer in a millimeter-scale pipe. The aim of this study is to establish the correlation between Darcy friction factor and drag reducer concentration (C) and volume flow (Q). First, the experimental plan w...
