(2023-08-02)Elevated temperatures and corrosive environments, typical of molten salt reactor’s operating conditions, may pose challenges to the functionality of instrumentation, sensors and key com-ponents of the cycle. Experimental ...
-
(2011-08-08)The Department of Energy funded a project to determine if the specific heat of thermal energy storage materials could be improved by adding nanoparticles. The standard thermal energy storage materials are molten salts. The ...
-
(2022-12-13)The work performed for this project demonstrated a method for producing purified LiF-BeF2-ThF4 salts using ammonium-bifluoride (NH4F2) as an alternative to pure anhydrous hydrofluoric acid (HF) gas. The objective was to ...
-
(2021-12-10)As we push towards a reduction of carbon emissions without sacrificing reliability and safety, advanced applications of molten-salt technology are currently being considered for use. Many previous studies have focused on ...
-
(2020-07-28)A very high-temperature, test facility was designed and constructed at the Thermal-Hydraulic Research Laboratory of Texas A&M University (TAMU) to conduct two-phase flow visualization experiments in molten salt. A ...
-
(2021-04-21)The high temperatures and corrosive environment created by molten salts pose challenges to both traditional and advanced measurement techniques. Experimental measurements of thermal-hydraulic parameters in these environments ...
-
(2022-04-18)Corrosion related failures pose risk to the integrity of routinely cycled and permanent reactor components long before radiation damage alone adversely impact reactor performance. Compared to Light Water Reactors (LWRs), ...
