CFD Modeling of Natural Circulation in LiCl-KCl Molten Salt Closed Loop
Characterizing flow within a molten salt closed-loop system is crucial for assessing system requirements, evaluating performance, and identifying potential flaws. Direct flow measurement using instrumentation is challenging due to extreme environmental conditions and the limitations associated with measuring molten salt flow under natural convection. This study aims to provide comprehensive insights into the thermal-hydraulic behavior […]
Electrochemical Measurement and Analysis of YCl3, ScCl3, GdCl3 and MgCl2 in Molten Eutectic LiCl-KCl
Electrochemical measurements of YCl3, ScCl3, GdCl3 and MgCl2 were obtained in the molten eutectic LiCl-KCl at 773 K using a three-electrode configuration. Tungsten rods were used as the working and counter electrodes. Three reference electrodes of differing composition (glassy carbon, nickel wire, and Ni/NiO) were utilized to acquire electrochemical measurements of the analyte salts. Cyclic […]
