Enhancement of PEO Performance in Reducing Turbulent Flow Drag with the Addition of SDBS Anionic Surfactant

Polyethylene Oxide (PEO) is a non-ionic polymer which has been used widely as a drag reduction (DR) agent. Nevertheless, its ability to reduce drag in turbulent flow is yet limited. Thus, in this paper, a study to improve the ability of PEO to reduce drag in a turbulent flow through the addition of...

The various concentration range of PEO (10, 20, 40 and 60 ppm) and SDBS (100, 200, 400, and 500 ppm) was studied.

The PEO-SDBS solution showed the highest DR of 50 %, at a mixture concentration of 60 ppm of PEO with 200 ppm of SDBS. Nonetheless, at higher concentrations, the DR value dropped due to the increase in the relative viscosity of the solution which enhanced the resistance to the flow.
