Viscosity analysis of alkali metal carbonate molten salts at high temperature

Abstract

The viscosities of unary, binary, and ternary eutectic alkali metal carbonate molten salts were measured for the first time by a rotation method using a high-temperature rheometer system and the reliability of the viscosity values was evaluated. The viscosity values obtained in this study are similar to that reported by Sato's research group, which is considered to have the highest reliability among the studies reported till date. The standard errors in the viscosity values at each temperature are less than ±5%.
