| Research Abstract |
Drag reduction phenomena of bio-fiber suspensions of silk threads, cotton yarn and hemp fibers in a circular pipe were investigated within the aspect ratio l/d=2-52 and the concentration Cw=250-2,500ppm, experimentally.For comparison, measurements were also performed on the Newtonian solvent. Pressure drop measurements indicated that the wall shear stress of the pipe decreased by a maximumm of approximately 20% compared to that of water. Drag reduction ratio were correlated with the non-dimensional parameter involving Young's modurus by non-dimensional analysis. It was shown that the equation agrees with the experimental data within 30%.
