... what is being researched and investigated. Additionally, the mechanics behind drag reduction have been understood and the effect of DRAs on the flow rate and pressure of pipelines once injected has been understood. Factors such as location of DRA injection, DRA type vs. %Dr, and DRA concentration have...

... reduction efficiency. The most widely used model in pipeline industry for predicting the drag reduction efficiency correlates drag reduction as a function of DRA concentration alone. However, in reality drag reduction can be significantly different from the predicted one depending on the variations...
