Triton-X amphoteric surfactant as drag reducing agent in aqueous media flowing in pipelines with different pipe diameters

In this study the effect of the presence of a drag reducing agent (DRA) on the pressure drop in co-current horizontal pipes carrying flow of water is investigated. An experimental set-up is erected. The tested fluid was water and aqueous solution of Triton X-100 surfactant with 50 ppm (ppm-part per...
