Drag Reduction by Natural Polymeric Additives in PMDS Microchannel: Effect of Types of Additives

Drag reduction technology was used in medical applications to enhance the blood flow in semiclogged blood streams which can be an alternative treatment for atherosclerosis. In this present study, natural polymeric drag reducing additives (DRA) was introduced to replace synthetic polymer which has th...
