Effect of water-soluble polymeric additives on energy expenditure in transportation of water-oil systems in turbulent mode

New installation of the circulation type was used to perform a joint analysis of rheological and energy parameters of turbulent flows of water and water-oil media in the presence of polymeric additives of anionic copolymers of acrylamide. Copolymers with varied molecular mass were produced by ultrasonic destruction of a starting high-molecular-weight sample of the polymer under mild conditions. The effect of the molecular mass of the polymer additive on the specific energy expenditure in the case of circulation of water-oil media in the turbulent mode was analyzed.
