Abstract

In this work the effect of system parameter namely equivalent diameter of local element, on the thermal stratification has been studied. This parameter has been varied over a range, and the effect on bed temperature, air temperature and stratification coefficient, etc. has been investigated. Accordingly, parameter that is to yield the best stratification is proposed.
