Improving the gas oil flow in pipelines by designing new floating technique

Pipeline transportation is always preferred method to transport crude oil and natural gas due to safety purpose and cost effectiveness.Turbulent flow in pipeline causes friction drag and pressure drag which results in reduction in flow rate and pumping power losses.High operational cost is required...
