In this paper, nanocomposite was synthesized with nano silica and poly-α-olefin, and the effects of surface modification to the nano silica on its drag reduction performance were investigated. The dosage coupling agent, Y-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, and the modification temperature were studied intensively through surface hydroxyl and oil adsorption analysis. The test results indicated that the hydroxyl number of the silica was decreased by Y-aminopropyltriethoxysilane modification, with improved lipophilicity and oil adsorption. At 50°C, the optimum Y-aminopropyltriethoxysilane dosages were 15% for Nano-Si-10, 5% for Nano-Si-20, and 10% for Degussa-R972. The modification significantly changed the nano silica surface properties and enhanced the interaction with poly-α-olefin. Through drag reduction and shear resistance tests by rotating disk 40 mins degradation and testing loop 2 times shearing, it was shown that the nanocomposite possessed good drag reduction and excellent shear resistance properties.

<p>This paper focuses on the determination of the interaction between polymer (Polyacrylamide (PAM)) and surfactant (Sodium dod benzene sulfonate (SDBS)) as a drag reducer using Rotating Disk apparatus (RDA) at various concentrations (500, 700, 1000, 1500 and 2000) ppm individually and in the combined form under turbulent conditions at different rotation speed up to 3000 rpm, as well as studying their mechanisms as a drag reducer. The results show that the maximum percent drag reduction increases to (40, 41, 43, 45 and 48)% by using the combined additives of surfactant and polymer at the above concentrations respectively, with slower degradation and display drag reduction for a larger range of Reynolds numbers. The nano and micro particles formed from the combined PAA and SDBSA was studied using cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) techniques. The images show the surrounding of polymer chain to the surfactant micelle to form an aggregate structure. A hexagonal crystalline form was suggested to describe the shape of the aggregate structure.</p>
