In the present study, the simple form of the heat transfer equation were suggested to estimate the temperature variation inside the oil pipe in order to determine the thickness of the insulating materials to retain the working oils below the critical temperature. The conservation of the thermal energy at arbitrary time were modeled to one dimensional unsteady equation with the empirical formula or data. The calculating results for non-insulation case showed that the temperature were very sensitive to the thermal convection by the velocity of the external wind. For insulation case, the insulation material which has higher density and specific heat, lower thermal conductivity should be chosen with more brighter coloring outside the pipe in order to retain the working oils below the critical temperature.

Flow pattern of air-water two phase flow depends on the conditions of pressure drop, void fraction, and channel geometry. Drag reduction in the two phase flow can be applied to the transport of crude oil, phase change systems such as chemical reactor, pool and boiling flow, and to present cavitation which occurs in pump impellers. But the research on drag reduction in two phase flow is not intensively investigated. Therefore, experimental investigations have been carried out to analyze the drag reduction produced and void fraction by Co-polymer(A611p) addition in the two phase flow system. We find that the maximum point position of local void friction moves from the wall of the pipe to the center of the pipe when polymer concentration increases. Also we find that the polymer solution changes the characteristics of the two phase flow. And then we predict that it is closely related with the drag reduction.
