Rotating disks are applied in many industrial heat and mass transfer systems because of their high mixing performance. The presence of non-Newtonian viscous liquids in these systems limits the mixing performance, thereby affecting the required heat and mass transfer. In this study, passive, active, and interactive drag-reduction techniques are proposed to enhance the mixing and drag-reduction performance of rotating disks and are experimentally tested. An SV-grooved surface (triangular shaped) is engraved on a disk attached to a rotating disk apparatus to test the liquid resistance based on torque readings and the velocity profile using a miniature laser Doppler velocimeter (Mini-LDV, MicroPro). The polymer polyisobutylene and the surfactant sodium lauryl ether sulfate are chosen as the passive-active integrated drag-reduction components in an experiment using different additive concentrations and polymer-surfactant complexes in the same tests. The experimental results show that the selected passive design of the riblets can enhance flow by 8% and that this percentage increases when polymeric additives and polymer-surfactant complexes are introduced. The velocity profile results show that high-velocity zones are created above the rotating surface and that these zones contribute significantly to enhancing the mixing intensity in the drag-reduction system.
