| Abstract Scope |
In order to optimize the design process for molten salt applications, data regarding salt properties and material compatibility must be readily available for a variety of salt compositions. Of particular interest and need are data regarding corrosion kinetics in molten salts. Due to their high melting points and corrosive nature, fluoride salts have proven difficult to analyze to date, limiting their potential impact. Transient Grating Spectroscopy (TGS) offers a potential means of determining molten salt properties such as thermal diffusivity, sound speed and viscosity, while also providing a mechanism for in-situ corrosion monitoring. In order to harness this technique, a high-temperature TGS setup for molten fluorides has been designed and tested. Initial results and a system design overview will be discussed. |
