Results of an experimental investigation of the effect 
of reducing the hydrodynamic friction resistance in injection of quickly 
prepared "solutions" of polyethylene oxide into a turbulent flow in 
a tube, performed in different temperature regimes of injection of 
these "solutions" into the turbulent flow, are presented. A description 
of the design of a device for quick preparation of polymeric "solutions" 
is given. The time of preparation of the "solutions" was varied from 
0.2 to 40 sec. The experiments have been performed for a wide range 
of concentrations of the polymer in the injected "solutions."
