Abstract
In the paper it is shown that application of standard design methods for hydrotransport used for slurry with small concentration of a solid phase and for hydrotransport of high concentration slurry leads to considerable divergences between practical values of pressure losses which are received as a result of calculation. A major factor, which defines errors of calculation of hydrotransport of slurry with high concentration of a solid phase by means of standard techniques, is that these techniques do not consider rheological characteristics and parameters substantially influencing the amount of spe-cific pressure losses. The offered model of a pulp movement and technique developed on the basis of this model allow to define hydrotransport parameters with a margin error no more than 0,1.
