“…Molten Salt. For molten salt, there are many outstanding thermophysical properties in aspects of heat transfer and storage, and it has been widely used in the nuclear waste heat recovery [8] and solar power generation. At present, the research direction of molten salt mainly includes three aspects: theoretical simulation and prediction [9,10], heat exchanger system [11,12], experiment research on molten salt's composition and properties [13].…”

mproving the thermophysical properties of heat transfer fluid is always a research hotspot and difficult subject in the application of solar energy for medium and high temperature. The research and application of these heat transfer fluid, including steam, heat transfer oil, molten salt, air, liquid alloy and nanofluids, were summarized in this paper. After comparing their characteristics, it is found that molten salt, air and liquid alloy have greater application and development prospects. Future research directions include extending the temperature span of operating condition, enhancing the efficiency of heat transfer and storage, lengthening service life and finding out the correlation between microstructure and related performance.
