Degradation of drag reducing polymers in aqueous solutions
The performance of drag reducing polymers in turbulent flow is restricted by their mechanical degradation. This study examines how the working fluid can affect the degradation behavior of diluted drag reducing polymeric solutions. Solutions having different proportions of tap water and de-ionized water served as the working fluids. Three commercially available water soluble polymeric agents, namely, an anionic copolymer of polyacrylamide, xanthan gum, and polyethylene oxide, were then added to these solutions. All experiments had identical flow rates corresponding to turbulent conditions in a laboratory scale pipe line. Variation of pressure drop in the pipe line was then measured for 2 hours. It was found that polymer degradation is accelerated in tap water solutions compared to that in de-ionized water solutions. However, this is dependent on the specification of the polymer used, namely, the molecular weight of the polymer and the rigidity of its molecular backbone. Furthermore, a new mathematical relation has been developed to investigate degradation of the polymers over time.
