Finds documents with exactly this word group, in exactly this word order and spelling (e.g. "employer branding").
Finds documents with both search terms (e.g. sales AND bonus).
Finds documents with one or the other search term (e.g. porsche OR volkswagen).
Finds documents with all search terms. Blank space is understood as AND (e.g. man robot production).
Finds documents with no appearance of the word behind NOT (e.g. ford NOT "harrison ford").
Finds documents where the search term is mentioned at least "n" times."n" may be any number (e.g. COUNT(gear)>8).
Finds documents with both search terms in any word order, permitting "n" words as a maximum distance between them. Best choose between 15 and 30 (e.g. NEAR(recruit, professionals, 20)).
Finds documents with the search term in word versions or composites. The asterisk * marks whether you wish them BEFORE, BEHIND, or BEFORE and BEHIND the search term (e.g. lightweight*, *lightweight, *lightweight*).
Finds documents with the search term in different spellings. "?" allows only one character (e.g. organi?ation).
Special characters are understood as AND (e.g. Miller Bros. & Sons).

Abstract

The study investigates the effectiveness of biomass-based polymers, such as papaya extract, buckwheat flour, and flaxseed, as drag-reducing agents in aqueous systems. Experiments were conducted to measure the maximum drag reduction and identify key parameters affecting this phenomenon. The combination of flaxseed and polyacrylamide (PAM) showed the most promising results, achieving up to 32% drag reduction. The impact of saltwater concentration on drag reduction was also examined, revealing that increased salt concentration negatively affects drag reduction. The research highlights the potential of biomass-based polymers in optimizing energy efficiency in various applications, including oil pipelines, firefighting equipment, and ship hull design.
