However, experimental data on several molten salt systems, of interest for various energy generation applications, are generally lacking. Physics-informed models, as well as molecular dynamic (MD) simulations, have the potential to populate gaps in current thermophysical property databases. Existing predictive models using MD simulation (Green–Kubo, non-equilibrium MD) take significantly longer to predict thermal conductivity than classical MD models that otherwise predict salt density with reasonable accuracy. We present an approach that uses the SuperSalt machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) for chloride salts, as well as a structural coherence model (SCM) to predict thermal conductivity of molten salts using volumetric heat capacity, adiabatic speed of sound, and the partial pair distribution function. The SCM uses this function to predict the mean free path of thermal transport and applies generalized kinetic theory to predict thermal conductivity near the melting temperature, achieving results one to two orders of magnitude faster than existing MD methods. By also predicting the isothermal bulk modulus, the temperature dependence of thermal conductivity above the melting temperature can be determined. This integrated SCM-MLIP (ISM) methodology serves as a proof of concept for using MLIPs to predict thermal properties within current experimental uncertainties at a fraction of the computational cost. This enables investigation into thermal conductivity as well as other thermophysical properties across a variety of molten salt compositions. When coupled with targeted experimental studies, the ISM methodology can help contribute to existing databases necessary to safely implement molten salts into power generation systems.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":598,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Thermophysics","volume":"47 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149189238","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, surface tension measurements were conducted for pure liquid Al, pure liquid Si, and molten Al–Si alloys containing 5–80 at % Si using the oscillating drop method with electromagnetic levitation. Oxide-affected heating curves were excluded from the pyrometer calibration, and only oscillation data for which no oxide film was observed on the droplet surface were analyzed. For all examined compositions, the measured surface tension decreased linearly with increasing temperature. Near 1700 K, the surface tension decreased monotonically and nearly linearly with increasing Si concentration, and previously reported nonlinear behaviors, such as relatively high values in the Al-rich region and an increase toward the Si-rich side, were not observed. Uncertainty analysis confirmed that the nearly linear composition dependence was not due to measurement uncertainty. Butler equation calculations were performed using the pure-component surface tension values obtained in this study. The ideal-solution approximation reproduced the measured composition dependence and temperature coefficients more consistently than the subregular-solution calculation using the evaluated excess Gibbs energies.

However, their limited thermal conductivity reduces the rate of heat transfer during energy storage and release. The present study utilised 1-Decanol (DA) as PCM and to improve the thermal conductivity, graphene nanoplatelets (GN) were added at different weight percentages of 0.5 %, 1 % and 1.5 % to develop NEPCMs. Pure DA exhibits an onset melting temperature (T<sub>OM</sub>) of 4.05 °C and a melting enthalpy (<i>H</i><sub>m</sub>) of 220.09 Jg<sup>−1</sup>. After adding 1.5 % GN a 32.67 % increase in thermal conductivity from the base DA. The phase change characteristics, chemical stability and thermal stability of the NEPCMs are evaluated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Additionally, the samples underwent 500 heating and cooling cycles to ensure their thermal stability and the samples displayed good thermal and chemical stability. Hence, the prepared NEPCMs exhibit significant potential in cold chain logistics.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":598,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Thermophysics","volume":"47 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149007445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
