Purpose. Scientific basis substantiation for the technological calculation of main pipelines. Which are pumping high viscosity non-Newtonian liquids, taking into account the peculiarities behavior of the full Buckingham equation solution in various intervals of the values included in it.Methodology. The modern methods analysis for calculating rational parameters of the high viscosity non-Newtonian fluid viscosity transportation modes which made it possible to substantiate the specificity of the rheological characteristics of these liquids, taking into account the possibility of controlling their rheological properties by introducing surface-active reagents or a heterogeneous medium of lower viscosity.Findings. The scientific and methodological support for the calculation of the rational parameters of high viscosity non-Newtonian liquids transportation modes for main pipelines is substantiated, in order to ensure an increase in the efficiency of their operation. At the same time, the dependencies proposed in the work take into account the possibility of evaluating changes in the main pipelines operation parameters and modes with forced regulation by the rheological parameters of the pumped medium.Originality. Based on the modern methods of technological calculations of the main pipelines operation parameters analysis, the hydrodynamic feature of the high viscosity non-Newtonian fluids is determined, which is that the dependence of the hydraulic slope on the initial tangential stress and costs are expressed by a linear superposition of the terms containing these values, and the proportional coefficients are independent from the rheological characteristics of the environment, the properties of the transported and the pipeline diameter.Practical value. It consists in improved methods for calculating rational parameters for the transportation of slurries, slurries and high viscosity liquids in main pipelines. These methods allow to determine the pipeline diameter value, the choice of pumps indicators, taking into account the effective viscosity, as well as the initial tangential stress of high viscosity non-Newtonian fluid in order to reduce the energy intensity of transportation, save resources and improve the environmental safety of industrial areas.Key words: high viscosity non-Newtonian fluid, rheological characteristics, main pipeline, technological calculation
