Empirical Correlations for Viscosity of Polyacrylamide Solutions with the Effects of Salinity and Hardness

A series of experiment shave been conducted to characterize and quantify the effects of shear rate, salinity, and hardness on the viscosity of polymer solutions. A set of correlations were developed to predict the viscosity of polymer solutions. These correlations consider the individual as well as...
