Influence of polymer molecular-weight distribution on hydrodynamic drag reduction in a turbulent stream of solution

  • Published:
Journal of engineering physics Aims and scope

Abstract

The molecular weights of polyethylene oxide specimens, their distributions and dispersion coefficients, and the dependence of the Thoms effect on the polymer concentration in the solution are measured. Values of the Thoms effect of the specimens are compared with their dispersion coefficients.
