Abstract
Fluidized beds exhibit two important characteristics for the heating of a reactional tube bundle: homogeneous temperature within all the fluidized bed and high heat transfer coefficient with the immersed surfaces. One of the key points for their modeling is the knowledge of the vertical and horizontal thermal conductivities and the heat transfer coefficient at the wall or with the tubes of the reactor. As thermal diffusivity data about large fluidized beds are not available in the literature, we have built a large size pilot unit (0.6 m x 1.1 m x 2.8 m) to determine these values under the conditions of a catalytic treatment of petroleum products. The measure of local temperatures and the use of a two-dimensional diffusion model have permitted us to determine thermal conductivities as a function of several parameters: fluidization velocity, height of the bed, nature and granulometry of solids and geometry of the tube bundle. On the basis of the collected experimental data, the case of a petrochemical unit has been studied. A mathematical code was developed, which permitted us to acquire the data concerning the progress of the reaction in the tubes and it also allowed us to analyse the influence of size and
