| Abstract Scope |
New technologies are requiring the use of molten salts (i.e. - electrolytic cells, certain fusion reactor designs, etc.). As a result, thermoelectric properties like electrical conductivity are required to further these design efforts. To increase the accuracy of the electrical conductivity measurements, several factors need to be taken into account. In particular, molten salt wetting characteristics, materials selection, and measurement geometry must be thoroughly evaluated to ensure accurate data is measured while maintaining an accurate calibration in a highly dynamic environment. These factors will be discussed in the context of a concentric electrode measurement apparatus. |
