Several factors can influence pipeline resistance in catalytic systems:
1. Fluid Properties: Viscosity and density of the fluid play significant roles. Higher viscosity fluids have greater resistance. 2. Pipeline Diameter: A smaller diameter increases resistance due to higher frictional contact with the pipeline walls. 3. Pipeline Length: Longer pipelines offer more resistance as the fluid has to travel a greater distance. 4. Surface Roughness: Rougher surfaces create more friction, increasing resistance. 5. Flow Regime: Laminar flow has less resistance compared to turbulent flow, which is chaotic and results in higher resistance.
