Effects of fluoride salt addition to the physico-chemical properties of the MgCl2–NaCl–KCl heat transfer fluid: A molecular dynamics study

Concentrated solar plants are promising solutions for electricity production. In these plants, the heat transfer fluid plays an important role, and finding systems with good thermal properties is very important. this regard, molten salts, more particularly chlorides, currently investigated. Experimental studies of melts difficult expensive, so complementing them simulations would allow to test a wider range compositions. work, we show that classical molecular dynamics suitable predicting ternary salt composed MgCl2, KCl NaCl by extensive comparisons experimental data (and previous simulations) on density, capacity, viscosity conductivity. We then study effect adding fluoride ions in melt order investigate suitability mixed chlorides-fluorides future fluids studies.
