Abstract Eutectic salts NaCl-KCl-ZnCl2 and NaCl-KCl-MgCl2 are two of the chloride salt systems that promising for being used as high-temperature heat transfer fluid (HTF) thermal energy storage (TES) materials in a wide range temperatures from 230 °C to 750 concentrated solar power systems. To conduct measurement coefficient molten at high temperatures, circulation system instrumentation flow w...

Oxide ceramics could be attractive high-temperature construction materials for critical structural parts in molten salt thermal energy storage systems due to their excellent corrosion resistance and good mechanical properties. The 3D-printing technology allows the production of ceramic components with highly complex geometries, therefore extends applications. In this work, 3D-printed ZrO2 Al2O3...

Effects of a wide range of concentrations of four salts (NaCl, KCl, MgCl2, CaCl2) on cell proliferation were investigated in suspension culture of a mangrove plant, Sonneratia alba. The results were compared to those obtained with suspension culture of another mangrove species, Bruguiera sexangula and non-mangrove tobacco BY-2 cells. Effects of salts on suspension cells were determined with bot...

Chloride molten salts have become a potential heat storage material for the design of new generation concentrating solar power (CSP) (>700 °C) due to its abundant reserves and low cost. The difficulty measuring high-temperature thermal properties chlorides can be effectively solved by using molecular dynamics simulation. However, it is challenging get thermophysical multi-component containin...

The viability of starved or dying Saccharomyces cerevisiae Y5 cells was extended for up to 1,500 h by adding osmotic supports (0.6 M sorbitol or mannitol) to the starvation media. Replacement of these polyols with 0.3 M KCl, 0.5 M MgSO4, or 0.2 M MgCl2 postponed the death of cells incubated in N-free medium, but accelerated it in distilled water.

When the nodal end of an internodal cell of Chara corallina was subjected to a pulse treatment with artificial cell sap, a depolarization lasted in artificial pond water. This depolarization could also be induced by pulse treatment with KCl solution, indicating that K+ in the artificial cell sap is responsible (K+ -induced depolarization). The depolarization was prolonged in the presence of 2 m...

Herein we demonstrated the effect of oxygen and air atmosphere on the success of short-term storage of sperm obtained from rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), sterlet (Acipenser ruthenus) and common carp (Cyprinus carpio) diluted in immobilizing media (100 mM NaCl, 40 mM KCl, 3 mM CaCl2, 1.5 mM MgCl2, 50mM Tris, pH 8.2 for salmonid fish, 17 mM NaCl, 1.7 mM KCl, 6 mM NaHCO3, 0.5 mM CaCl2, 0.5 m...
