Thermal Conductivity of Molten Alkali Halides and Their Mixtures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Thermal conductivity of molten alkali halides and their mixtures with common anions is measured as a function of temperature. Use is made of the most reliable method of coaxial cylinders made of platinum, with radiation heat transfer being taken into account. It is found to vary directly with temperature. Expressions for its temperature dependence are derived from the experimental observations. Linear relations of the thermal conductivity to the molar volume are established for molten alkali fluorides, chlorides, bromides, iodides and their mixtures with common anions. Deviations from the additive quantities towards smaller values are observed in the case of the mixtures. They are in a good accordance with inverse deviations of their adiabatic compressibility. The heat conduction of ionic melts is semiquantitatively examined. Elementary quantities of heat transferred from cations to anions and vice versa are estimated.

Equilibrium and nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations of the thermal conductivity of molten alkali halides.
The thermal conductivity of molten NaCl and KCl was calculated through the Evans-Gillan nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) algorithm and Green-Kubo equilibrium molecular dynamics (EMD) simulations. The EMD simulations were performed for a "binary" ionic mixture and the NEMD simulations assumed a pure system for reasons discussed in this work. The cross thermoelectric coefficient obtained ...

The extended corresponding states principle has been applied on the prediction of the surface tension of pure molten alkali halides. The model uses liquid density and vapour pressure data of the salts of interest and of the reference salt, chosen to be NaCl, as the input for the calculation of temperature-dependent equivalent substance reducing ratios (ESRR). The model here described was alread...
