The momentum and energy equations for the high speed solar wind, which include all kinds of possible acceleration and heating processes, are examined simultaneously by using Helios' observations of protons and MHD fluctuations in the high speed wind ranging from 1 AU to 0.3 AU. The estimation shows that the viscous effect cannot be represented by the classical expression of viscosity, which is derived from the collision-dominated plasma. It is suggested that in the region (at least) between 0.3 AU and 1 AU the high speed wind acceleration by thermal pressure gradients is comparable to that by Alfven wave pressure gradient; the acceleration by the Lorentz force of the background field is negligible.
