The method for calculation the theoretical value of efficiency of peristaltic type pump with linear disposition of working tube was developed. To determine the deformation of compressible tube the method of finite differences was used. The resulting system of equations was solved by the method of lower relaxation. Experimental research was also carried out. It is shown that the efficiency val- ues calculated by the developed technique are much larger than those, which are obtained experi-mentally; consequently this method is suitable only for approximate preliminary calculations.
