Enhancing the Flow in Microchannel using Natural Polymeric Additives

This present study aims to study the feasibility of three natural polymeric drag reducing additives in enhancing the flow in microchannel. Five mucilage solution concentration (100 to 500 ppm) was prepared by adding deionized water which acted as transported liquid after extracting from okra, aloe v...

description	This present study aims to study the feasibility of three natural polymeric drag reducing additives in enhancing the flow in microchannel. Five mucilage solution concentration (100 to 500 ppm) was prepared by adding deionized water which acted as transported liquid after extracting from okra, aloe vera and hibiscus leaves. The additives were then tested in custom made microchannel simulating human heart blood vessels. The flow performance of different concentration of additives was evaluated by recording the flow rate across the microchannel corresponding to the operating pressure (50 to 500 mbar).

The maximum drag reduction up to 63.48% is achieved using 300 ppm of hibiscus mucilage.
