Notes:
Completely developed and entry region mass transfer rates in turbulent pipe flow of drag reducing polymer solutions were studied experimentally using electrochemical techniques. The percent change in the fully developed mass transfer rate at a given volumetric flow was found to be greater than the percent change in the pressure gradient. The data are interpreted by using the law of the wall, valid for Newtonian fluids at large Schmidt numbers, whereby K+ is related to Sc-0.74. The proportionality constant is correlated with percent drag reduction and is found to decrease with increasing drag reduction. The use of an analogy between momentum and mass transfer predicts a somewhat greater mass transfer reduction than was observed.
