Molten salt mixtures. IX. The thermal conductivities of molten nitrate systems

Abstract

The thermal conductivity of the molten salts NaNO3, KNO3, AgNO3, and NaNO2 was measured by an equilibrium method over a range of temperature. Similar measurements were carried out for the NaNO3+ KNO3, AgNO3 + NaNO3, and AgNO3+ KNO3 systems. The free volume of molten salts has been calculated from thermal conductivity and is compared with results from sound velocity determinations.
