Study on the Interfacial Curvature of Oil-Water Two Phase System subjected to Polymeric Additives

During the transportation of well fluids to refinery plant, drag which is also known as resistance will occur due to the friction between the pipelines and the fluids. Several pumping stations need to be installed along the pipelines due to the pressure drop which eventually increase the cost of tra...
