OSTI ID:5130129
The first three parts of this series treated the theory and practice of drag reduction using drag reducing agents (DRA's). Those articles considered the fundamentals of the drag reduction phenomenon, the concept of DRA's as liquid loops, and some practical examples of the application of DRA's to multi-station pipeline systems. This concluding article is concerned with the practical aspects of drag reduction, i.e., with the product and the hardware, and with the kind of results that should be expected.
