In this paper the effects of particles configuration and particles distance on the heat transfer rate in a gas phase olefin polymerization reactor have been studied using the computational fluid dynamic (CFD) modeling approach. The goal was to determine the causes of particle overheating in this reactor. It has been shown that classic correlations such as Ranz-Marshall are sufficiently adequate when far away particles with no interactions are to be modeled. However, when particles are sufficiently close to having interactions, these correlations fail to satisfactorily predict the convective heat transfer coefficient. The results indicate an increase in particle distance leads to an increase in the Nusselt number on the particle surface. Therefore, for particles with a large distance and triangular or rotated square configurations, the local Nusselt number is closer to the Nusselt number for a single particle.
