PRESSURE DROP REDUCTION IN TURBULENT PIPE FLOW BY SOAP AND POLYMER ADDITIVES

New experimental data obtained illustrate the effects observed in the reduction of drag by means of dilute polymer and soap solutions, such as the effects of additive concentration, type, and molecular weight, and the effect of pipe diameter. The effects of the two types of additive appear to be complementary. Friction factor data are presented for the flow of mixed polymer and soap solutions.
