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.
