✦ Synopsis

Abstraet--A theoretical model has been developed for the prediction of heat storage coefficients of twoand three-phase systems using the geometry dependent resistor model. By considering components as equivalent resistors, a combination of such resistors has been taken to predict the e.ffective heat storage coefficient of materials. A plane heat source method has been used for the experimental determination of heat storage coefficients of some loose granular materials with the variation of moisture content and temperature. The heat storage coefficients of these substances have been determined experimentally and values obtained are compared with predicted values of two-and three-phase systems. In all the cases, good agreement was found between the measured and predicted values.
