MIXING PROPERTIES OF UNSYMMETRICAL MOLTEN-SALTS BASED ON THE LAW OF CORRESPONDING STATES

The law of corresponding states of molten salt mixtures that include u nsymmetrical salts was developed. The corresponding states equations f or the thermodynamic and transport properties were obtained by expandi ng the Helmholtz free energy and the transport properties in terms of differences of the pair potential parameters, difference of the ionic size, and difference of the ionic mass. The effect of valences on the properties was accounted for by the products of cation and anion valen ces in the corresponding states equations. Equations for the mixing mo lar volume, surface tension, electrical conductivity, and viscosity we re derived from the corresponding states equations. The estimated mixi ng properties satisfactorily agreed with the observed ones.
