Measurement of melting point and density of fluoride salt mixtures

There are several possible candidate classes of coolants for future fusion reactors, including molten salts, liquid metals, gases, and supercritical fluids. Some liquid coolants have advantageous thermophysical properties over other types of coolant. In particular, molten salts demonstrate good heat transfer, allow low pressure operation, and do not suffer from disadvantageous MHD effects as liquid metals do. To determine the feasibility of fluoride molten salts for this application, it is necessary to accurately d...
