Molten salts including fluoride, nitrate, chloride, and carbonate salts have been proposed for
heat-transfer and thermal energy storage applications due to their superior thermal
performance at elevated temperatures. Since it is expensive to perform molten salt heat
transfer experiments due to the high working temperatures, a numerical analysis is carried
out to investigate thermal and hydrodynamic performance of molten salts using a
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tool, STAR-CCM+, and validate the numerical model …
