CaCO3 is friendly to both the environment and humans. For this reason, it is suitable to be applied in fluid transportation to enable more efficient flow. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of CaCO3 on the flow in a pentagon spiral pipe. The working fluid was circulated into the test pipe with constant pressure by the compressor. The working fluid was produced by mixing pure water with CaCO3 nanoparticles, which have average diameter of 100 nm, in the concentration ratios of 100 ppm, 300 ppm and 500 ppm. The test pipe was a pentagon spiral pipe with the ratio P/Do 7.1, and a circular pipe with a 4 mm inner diameter was used for comparison. The highest drag reduction (DR) that occurred in the spiral pipe was 35% around Re' 4×104 with nanofluids concentration of 500 ppm, while the highest DR in the circular pipe was of 26% around Re’ 4×104. The results show that increasing the percentage of solid particles affects the properties of the working fluid, such as viscosity, density, pressure drop and DR. The effects of the change in fluid properties were also taken into account. These affect the damping phenomena in the near wall region, which gives friction factor reduction. Another benefit of the spiral pipe is that it prevents the sedimentation of nanoparticles.

Penambahan larutan aditif pada aliran di dalam pipa dapat mengurangi hambatan gesek. Pada penelitian ini fluida yang dicampur dengan Nata de Coco dialirkan dalam pipa bulat D=3mm dan pipa spiral segi lima P/Di=10.8 mm. Perbedaan tekanan yang terjadi pada fluida kerja dapat dilihat dari kedua pressure tap yang dipasang di pipa dengan jarak 900 mm. Perubahan friction factor diprediksi akan berpengaruh terhadap pengurangan hambatan. Serat ini akan berpengaruh terhadap pengurangan hambatan baik di pipa bulat maupun pipa spiral segi lima. Dalam penelitian ini juga dilihat hubungan antara mekanisme pengurangan hambatan dengan degradasi dari fluida kerja. Berdasarkan data yang didapat dari penelitian ini Nata de Coco dengan konsentrasi 60 ppm yang dialirkan pada pipa spiral segi lima Pi/D=10.8 dapat menghasilkan drag reduction sebesar 26.27%. Nata de Coco juga dapat tahan terhadap degradasi, setelah dialirkan selama 6 jam drag reduction hanya berkurang sebesar 2.86%. ...... Addition of additive solutions to the flow in the pipe can reduce friction loss. In this study the fluids mixed with Nata de Coco flowed in round pipe D = 3mm and pentagon spiral pipe P / Di = 10.8 mm. The difference in pressure that occurs in the working fluids can be seen from both pressure taps installed in the pipe with a distance of 900 mm. Changes in friction factors are predicted to have an effect on drag reduction. This biopolymer will affect the drag reduction both pentagon spiral pipes and round pipes. This biopolymer will affect drag reduction in both pentagon spiral pipes and round pipes. In this study also seen the relationship between drag reduction and degradation of fluids. Based on the data obtained from this study, the Nata de Coco with a concentration of 60 ppm flowed in the pentagon spiral pipe Pi/D = 10.8 can produce 26.27% drag reduction. Nata de Coco also resistant to degradation, after being flowed for 6 hours drag reduction only decreased by 2.86%.
