Viscous flow of polymer solutions is depicted as a combined totality of elementary acts of flow within the bounds of the thermodynamic Joule cycle. Intrinsic viscosity of polymer solutions is represented as an energetical function of intermolecular interactions rather than a measure of additional loss of energy due to the rotational and viscoelastic deformations of macromolecules in the flow. A new theoretical concept in the light of the thermodynamic cycle analogous to that of Joule is brought forward to describe the viscous flow of polymer solutions. The concept is represented as a sequence of elementary cyclic processes described by equations, which establish a relationship between solvation potentials ( E ) and thermodynamic parameters such as temperature and volume. Solvation potentials are identified with the value of maximal solvation work and allow evaluating the energy of the corresponding intermolecular interactions via  E , individually of electrostatic ( E  a ) and covalent ( E  b1 ,  E  b2 ) nature.
