ABSTRACT:
A molten nitrate salt mixture consisting of 60% NaN03 and 40% KN03 by weight is an attractive candidate for a heat transfer and thermal energy storage fluid in large-power solar systems. The relationships between pressure, temperature, and composition (nitrate to nitrite ratio) have been

determined for this salt mixture under two system configurations: constant volume (sealed containment) and constant pressure (open containment). For the first, families of pressure-temperature and composition-temperature curves were generated for initial salt volume fractions of 0.1 to 0.7. For the constant pressure system, composition- temperature curves were generated for oxygen pressures of 1, 0.2, 0.01, and 0.001 atm. Show Less
