Pump and Temperature Effects on Drag Reducing Additives in Turbulent Pipe Flows

The effects of pump and temperature on drag reducing characteristics were investigated with a polymer(PAAM : Polyacrylamide) and three kinds of surfactants(CTAC, STAC, Habon-G) in fully developed turbulent pipe flows with various experimental parameters such as additive concentration(30~500ppm), pipe diameter(4.65mm, 10.85mm), Reynolds number($4{\times}10^4{\sim}10^5$) and working fluid temperature($20{\sim}80^{\circ}C$). The pump effect on PAAM was severe such that the drag reduction rates obtained with pump were decreased upto 30% as compared with those obtained with compressed air in 4.65mm test section. The temperature effect on PAAM was noticeably considerable, that is, the higher temperaute, the less drag reduction rate. On the other hand, no significant pump effect on the surfactants was observed. The drag reducing effectiveness of CTAC was totally lost in the temperature ragne of 60 to $80^{\circ}C$, whereas STAC and Habon-G kept their distinct drag reducing capability at a temperature of $80^{\circ}C$. This study clearly elucidated that for DHC application of drag reducing additives, the pump and temperature effects as well as additive concentration and pipe diameter should be carefully taken into consideration.
