Effects of Chemical Additives on the Pressure Drop in the Pipes

In this work; effect of carboxyl methyl cellulose (CMC) surfactant material on the pressure drop in pipes has been studied by using F-18 pressure drop through pipes measurement rig supplied by Armfeild has been used. Different amounts of the CMC material has been added to the solution, and the pressure drop at each amount has been recorded. This work was conductor in laminar flow vane it was found that a noticeable reduction in pressure drop reduction may be obtained by adding these amounts. Variables in this work were volumetric flow rate and percent of the added CMC in the solution.
