The Influence of Molecular Weight and Molecular Weight Distribution on Drag Reduction and Mechanical Degradation in Turbulent Flow of Highly Dilute Polymer Solutions

  • Conference paper

Abstract

The influence of the molecular weight and the molecular weight distribution on the drag reduction and the mechanical degradation in turbulent flow is investigated for highly pure laboratory synthesized polyacrylamides with mean molecular weights between 1.1 and 9.2·106 g/mol.
