In this model, the pneumatic conveyor is considered a system of mutually inf luencing equipment interrelated via the laws of mechanics. The proposed model of a pumping pneumatic conveyor may estimate the change of system operation parameters with time, along the transportation duct length, to select the best pneumatic conveying equipment. The suitability of this model is confirmed via experimental studies.
