| Abstract Scope |
Under the informal umbrella of the Molten Salt Thermal Properties Working Group (MSTPWG), Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), UC Berkeley, and the University of South Carolina plan to organize a Round Robin on Chemical and Thermal Property Characterization of Molten Salts. Properties of two salt mixtures (FLiNaK and NaCl-KCl) will be measured by different groups using a diversity of methods and instruments. The results for each property will be inter-compared to understand the ability to reproduce measurements, the appropriateness and limitations of each technique, and the possible sources of error. The goals of this round robin exercise are: (1) development of standard procedures, (2) generation of calibration standards, (3) generation of verified properties (for FLiNaK and NaCl-KCl), and (4) sharing of best practices in the performance of these measurements. Molten Salt Round Robin 1.0 will run Aug 2020-Jul 2020, and this talk will provide a mid-point progress update. |
