The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.1 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.3 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.0002 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.33 SJR: 0.256 SNIP: 0.49 CiteScore™:: 2.4 H-Index: 23

ABSTRACT

Experiments on efflux time are performed in the presence and absence of drag reducing agent for computing drag reduction in gravity driven flow systems. The system consists of a large cylindrical tank connected by an exit pipe located at the centre of the bottom of the tank. The drag reducing agent used is Dodecyl Benzene Sulfonate anionic surfactant. The variables studied are diameter of the storage tank, initial height of liquid in the tank, length of the exit pipe, concentration of surfactant. Optimum concentration of surfactant is found to be independent of the diameter and initial height of liquid in the tank as well as the length of the exit pipe. However, it is observed that drag reduction at optimum concentration (maximum drag reduction) is influenced by diameter of storage tank, initial height of liquid in the tank as well as the length of the exit pipe.
