Heat Capacity of Molten Halides

Abstract

The heat capacities of molten salts are very important for their practical use. Experimental investigation of this property is challenging because of the high temperatures involved and the corrosive nature of these materials. It is preferable to combine experimental investigations with empirical relationships, which allows for the evaluation of the heat capacity of molten salt mixtures. The isobaric molar heat capacities of all molten alkali and alkaline-earth halides were found to be constant for each group of salts. The value depends on the number of atoms in the salt, and the molar heat capacity per atom is constant for all molten halide salts with the exception of the lithium halides. The molar heat capacities of molten halides do not change when the anions are changed.

Heat of Fusion of Na3AlF6 Eutectic Mixtures with CaF2 and Al2O3

“…The values of temperature coefficients are close to 4R. It is the same number as heat capacity of halide salts per atom [18].…”

In system identification, interval (and fuzzy) estimates can lead to much better accuracy than the traditional statistical ones: General algorithm and case study

“…It turns out that the bounds on y coming from our method are an order of magnitude smaller that the 2σ-bounds coming from the traditional statistical analysis; see [13] for details.…”
