The effect of pipe length on the percentage drag reduction for water flowing into pipes with different diameters

Fluids are very common and widely used in various industry processes. The only way to transfer fluids is to use pipe. During the transfer, the turbulent flow in pipe always causes a phenomenon called drag. However, this effect could be reduced by addition of Drag Reduction Agents (DRA’s). This study...
