The Study of Drag Reduction Ability and Mechanical Degradation of Biopolymer in Water Injection System
Drag is characterized as a force that acting opposite the relative motion of an object through a fluid which lead to frictional pressure loss in pipeline fluid flow and Drag Reducing Agent (DRA) is a common solution of this problem. This research concerns only the application of water injection syst...
