Pumping and refrigeration stations may be designed
according to equation (17). The number of pumping and
refrigeration stations can be reduced to a minimum by
allowing for controlled flushing of liquid along the pipe.

and since for such times r ~ t, it is clear that the temperature of the pipe and of the gas decay linearly with time.
Therefore in very long pipes in which the gas flow is
choked the cooling down time is dependent on the parameter e only, giving thus an inverse relation between the
cool down time and the length of the pipe.
In the 100 km pipeline under consideration, the
dimensionless time required for cooling down the system
to the saturation liquid temperature is found from
Figure 4, or alternatively from equation (21), to be
re = 800, from which one finds
