Molten chloride salts hold significant promise as both thermal transfer and storage media for next-generation concentrated solar power (CSP) systems. However, molten chlorides pose a considerable corrosion risk to structural materials, particularly Ni-based alloys. One approach enhancing resistance is through the optimization of grain structure; however, it remains uncertain whether increasing or decreasing size enhances resistance. A cellular automata (CA) program was developed evaluate...
Ionic liquid materials are viable candidates as a heat transfer fluid (HTF) in wide range of applications, notably within concentrated solar power (CSP) technology and molten salt reactors (MSRs). For next-generation CSP MSR technologies that strive for higher generation efficiency, HTF with phase energy storage capabilities is crucial. Studies have shown eutectic chloride salts exhibit thermal stability at high temperatures, capacity, less expensive than nitrate carbonate salts. However,...
