Abstract

Anewmodelbasedonroughhard-spheretheoryisproposedforthethermal conductivity of molten salts. The model incorporates a smooth hard-sphere contribu- tion using the properties of argon, as well as characteristic parameters based on the melting point of the molten salt. It is demonstrated that it is possible to correlate the thermal conductivity of monovalent and multivalent molten salts within experimen- tal error using this approach. Furthermore, in salts with a common anion, the single adjustable parameter in the model exhibits regular behavior with the molecular weight ofthesalt.Itisalsoshownthatthethermalconductivityofseveralmolten-saltmixtures can be predicted without any mixture parameters.
