Résumé : The pipeline was primarily perceived as a means of transporting different materials. In this study, we looked at the flow of phosphate pulp in the pipeline linking the Khouribga mine pole (Morocco) and the Eljorf-Lasfar industrial platform in El Jadida (Morocco). We carried out a mathematical modeling on a number of parameters influencing the process of conducting phosphate through the pipeline. In this way, we have been interested in modeling the linear or regular load losses, the hydraulic gradient, the friction factor, the roughness of the pipe and the fluid mechanics of the phosphate pulp. The result is grouped into a program on Matlab that can provide us with the pressure in any point of the pipeline and the behavior of the pressure drops. In addition, this program allows us to follow a geographical route followed by the behavior and behavior of the piezometric line along the pipeline.
