Cover Story: Under safety and reaction engineering aspects, good radial heat transfer is of outstanding importance in slender packed-beds. However, because of local wall effects, the radial heat transport in the near-wall region is limited. In this original research article, we study with particle-resolved CFD simulations and experiments the impact of internal heat fins on the near-wall radial heat transport in slender packed beds filled with spherical particles. The simulation results show that internal heat fins increase the conductive portion of the radial heat transport close to the reactor wall, leading to an overall increased thermal performance of the system.
