| Abstract Scope |
Molten salts are poised to be used as high-temperature heat transfer fluids in next generation nuclear reactors and concentrated solar power systems. The addition of nanoparticles to molten salt allows for alteration of various thermophysical properties of the molten salt systems including forming a molten chloride salt based ferrofluid. This work studied the influence on physical properties and magnetic characteristics of metallic cobalt nanoparticles and nanowires when dispersed in molten metal-chloride salt mixtures for a long duration. Additionally, the dispersed nanoparticles and nanowires were also analyzed to determine the impact of cycles of salt crystallization and subsequent melting. The results provide insight into the viability of utilizing cobalt-based nanomaterials in nuclear reactors and concentrated solar applications. |
