Thermal Property Characterization of a Low Supercooling Degree Binary Mixed Molten Salt for Thermal Energy Storage System

Experimental investigation and thermodynamic evaluation of the CsNO3-LiNO3-NaNO3 ternary system

“…The lower values of heat capacity [39,54] are considered as less reliable. The data of Li et al [53] are extremely low compared to all other values.…”

“…The data of Takahashi et al [93] and, Maeso and Largo [68] obtained by DSC are in fairly good agreement with the values of Ichikawa and Matsumoto [67] obtained by adiabatic calorimetry. As for the solid phase, the heat capacity values reported by Monia et al [39], Li et al [53] and, Coscia et al [54] are low. These data are considered as unreliable.…”

“…The heat capacity of LiNO3 liquid phase has been reported several times [39,53,54,67,68,93,97]. The temperature dependence of the molar heat capacity, according to several authors, is presented in Fig.…”

“…Generally, the temperature of the thermal effect is defined as the onset temperature i.e. the intersection point of the tangent from start edge inflexion point and the baseline [53]. Regarding the latent heat of transition, the challenge is the choice of an initial and final temperature marking before integrating the peak [54].…”

“…The heat capacity of LiNO3 solid phase has been published by different authors [39,53,55,67,68,[93][94][95][96]. Results of different measurements are plotted in Fig.…”
