Effect of Polymer Solutions on Efflux Time for Two Exit Pipe System

Abstract

Experiments are performed for assessing the efflux time when water soluble polymer solutions are added to a open cylindrical tank drained by two exit pipes (The flow in each of the pipes is assumed to be turbulent). The polymer used is polyacrylamide (PAM). Experiments are performed for four different concentrations of polymer solutions and optimum concentration of polymer is found. A generalized correlation for friction factor is developed.
