A New Natural Drag Reducing Agent

Drag reduction agents are commonly used to prevent the energy losses during transportation in oil pipelines conduits, oil well operations and transport of suspensions and slurries. In this work, Basella Alba L as a new natural flow improver in pipelines is introduced. The effects of new natural drag...
