Density, surface tension, and viscosity of uranium trichloride-sodium chloride melts

Modeled salt density for nuclear material estimation in the treatment of spent nuclear fuel

“…All data in Table 3 are taken from Janz [18], except UCl 3 [19], and the metal trichlorides in bold, which were calculated. Data for the lanthanide and actinide chlorides (e.g., PuCl 3 ) at 500°C was not found in the literature.…”

Evaluating physical properties of molten salt reactor fluoride mixtures

“…These properties may be predicted with a sufficient accuracy for the selected compositions, which is comparable with the experimental error. The calculation was made using known experimental values of the density [31][32][33][34][35], the dynamic viscosity [25,[36][37], the isobaric heat capacity [38], and the thermal conductivity [39][40][41] of molten fluorides of alkali metals, their mixtures, and LiF-MeF 4 and NaF-MeF 4 melts. Those values were determined by reliable experimental techniques: hydrostatic weighing (r), damped oscillations of a pendulum (h), high-temperature calorimetry (c p ), and coaxial cylinders (l).…”

“…By now the density of binary LiF-NaF [31], LiF-BeF 2 and NaFBeF 2 [32], LiF-ZrF 4 and NaF-ZrF 4 [35], LiF-ThF 4 and NaF-ThF 4 [33,34] melts was measured as a function of the temperature and the composition. Those data were used as the basis for calculating the density of the molten 0.18LiF-0.58NaF-0.24BeF 2 and 0.72LiF-0.21BeF 2 -0.07ZrF 4 mixtures with various model assumptions.…”

Electroanalytical measurements of binary-analyte mixtures in molten LiCl-KCl eutectic: Uranium(III)- and Magnesium(II)-Chloride

“…is weight fraction, is density, represents eutectic LiCl-KCl, MgCl 2 , or UCl 3 . The density values used for eutectic LiCl-KCl, UCl 3 , and MgCl 2 are 1.62 [19], 5.20 [20], and 2.21 g/cm 3 [21], respectively.…”
