An Overview of the Molten Salt Thermal Properties Database–Thermophysical, Version 2.1.1 (MSTDB-TP v.2.1.1)
- Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Oak Ridge, TN (United States)
The current status of the Molten Salt Thermodynamic Database- Thermal Physical (MSTDB-TP) is reported. Building off of MSTDB-TP and through the direction of the Roadmap for thermal property measurement of Molten Salt Reactor systems, MSTDB-TP 2.1.1 has now been released containing a total 448 salt entries (data from 140+independent studies) compared to the original commit of 62, containing thermophysical properties including density, viscosity, thermal conductivity, and heat capacity. Along with the new database release, further advancement of Saline, a C++application programming interface (API), and a graphical user interface (GUI) has facilitated increased user/developer interaction with the database. Furthermore, estimation techniques, first principles calculations (Ab-Initio) and interpolation/extrapolation methods (Redlich-Kister/Muggianu), have shown great promise in the future of thermophysical property determination for filling out compositional spaces and investigating experimentally difficult salts (hazardous/expensive). This report describes the database composition, development and advancement of database tools, and the strategy of advancing and implementing estimation data into future iterations of the database for MSTDB-TP.
