The effects of superficial gas velocity (0.5 to 4.5 d s ) , solid circulating rate (0 to 40 kg/m2.s), suspension density (0 to 19 kg/m3) and particle sizes (83, 103, 163,236 pm) on the bed-to-wall heat transfer coefficient have been determined in a downer reactor (0.1 m I.D. x 3.5 m high). Bed-to-wall heat transfer coefficient increases with increasing suspension density. The heat transfer coefficient by gas convection played a significant role, especially at lower solid circulation rates or suspension densities and larger particle sizes. At a given particle suspension density in the downer reactor, the heat transfer coefficient increases with decreasing particle size. A model is proposed to predict the bed-to-wall heat transfer coefficient in a downer reactor.Les effets de la vitesse de gaz superficielle (de 0,s a 4,s d s ) , de la vitesse de circulation des solides (0 a 40 kg/m2.s), de la masse volumique de suspension (0 a 19 kg/m3) et de la taille des particules (83, 103, 163, 236 pm) sur le coefficient de transfert de chaleur lit-paroi, ont ete determines dam un reacteur a colonne descendante (0,l m de diametre interieur x 3,5 m de hauteur). Le coefficient de transfert de chaleur lit-paroi augmente avec la masse volumique des suspensions. Le coefficient de transfert de chaleur par convection du gaz joue un r d e significatif, en particulier a de faibles vitesses de circulation des solides ou masses volumiques des suspensions et avec des tailles de particules larges. Pour une masse volumique de suspensions de particules donnee dans le reacteur a colonne descendante, le coefficient de transfert de chaleur augmente avec la diminution de la taille des particules. On propose un modele afin de predire le coefficient de transfert de chaleur lit-paroi dans un reacteur a colonne descendante.
