Abstract
A physico-mathematical model is proposed for the motion of liquefied gas and small ice particles within the framework of one-velocity one-temperature approximation of the mechanics of non-equilibrium heterogeneous media. On its basis the problem of transporting a mixture for long distances is considered. An estimate is given for the nonequilibrium effect of the process of ice melting on flow parameters. The distances between the pump and refrigerator stations are determined, which are needed for the cryogenic pipeline operation.
