When transporting pure carbon dioxide through pipelines, it mainly exists in gaseous, liquid, and supercritical states. Due to the small density of the gas itself, transporting the same mass of carbon dioxide requires a larger pipeline size, and due to the high friction between the gas and pipeline, the pressure drop of the pipeline is also high. Therefore, large-scale and long-distance transportation in the gaseous state is not conducive to transportation, while liquid transportation requires maintaining a lower temperature in the pipeline. However, due to changes in external conditions, During the transportation process, the medium is prone to phase changes, that is, the liquid state changes to a gas state, which leads to gas-liquid two-phase flow in the pipeline and greatly reduces the performance of the pipeline. Therefore, high insulation measures are required for liquid transportation. Usually, the state of carbon dioxide produced at the wellhead is in a supercritical state, where most of the pressure energy can be effectively utilized, Moreover, carbon dioxide in supercritical state has many characteristics that are beneficial for pipeline transportation, so supercritical transportation has become the preferred state for pipeline transportation of carbon dioxide
