In this study, pipe diameter effect on flow and heat transfer characteristics of ammonia aluminium sulfate dodecahydrate (ammonia alum hydrate: AlNH 4 (SO 4) 2 Á12H 2 O) slurries with drag reducing surfactants and poly(vinyl alcohol) was investigated. Pressure loss and heat-transfer coefficients of ammonia alum hydrate solutions and slurries were measured with double-pipe heat exchangers with different inner tube diameters. Measurement results indicated that pseudo-laminarization by the surfactant caused drag-reduction effect and its saturated magnitude was affected by inner tube diameters. Pseudo-laminarization also produced heat transfer reduction effect and its magnitude was not affected by inner tube diameters. Calculation results of Colburn's j-factor divided by friction factors indicated that heat transportation efficiency of the hydrate solutions/slurries with additives was increased due to the contribution of drag-reduction effect.
