For the last few years, molten salt nanomaterials have attracted many scientists for their enhanced specific heat by doping a minute concentration of nanoparticles (up to 1% by weight). Likewise, enhancing the specific heat of liquid media is important in many aspects of engineering such as engine oil, coolant, and lubricant. However, such enhancement in specific heat was only observed for molt...

This paper presents the coupled code system of PROTEUS-NODAL and SAM developed for multiphysics simulation molten salt reactors (MSRs). The coupling was made under MOOSE framework by developing a wrapper master application that controls neutronics thermal-fluidic calculations. verified validated using Molten Salt Fast Reactor (MSFR) benchmark problem available experimental data Experiments (MSR...

Abstract The use of molten-salt–based energy production and storage systems requires high-temperature corrosion- creep-resistant structural materials. This study investigated the microstructure evolution corrosion characteristics Hastelloy N under working stress in a molten salt environment. Selective diffusion Cr at grain boundaries (GBs) degraded properties GBs, making them preferred location...

In molten fluoride salt systems, the chemistry and transport of hydrogen are coupled to its valence state, which controls balance tritium leakage corrosion.

High-aspect-ratio single-crystalline KNN nanorods (length ~10-20 μm and diameter ~400 nm) are synthesized using a facile method based on a molten-salt reaction, whose formation mechanism has been revealed. The lead-free piezoelectric nanorods showing high piezoelectric coefficient d*33 up to ~230 pm V(-1) may be used in bio-sensing and energy-harvesting micro-devices.
