Synthesis and characterisation of water soluble polymer drag reducing agents

Dilute solutions of high molecular weight (HMW) polymers can reduce friction experienced by a fluid in turbulent pipe flow, greatly decreasing energy required for transfer of the solution. These polymers are known as drag reducing agents (DRA). Polyacrylamide (PAM), synthesised using free-radical in...
