Overview

Randomized trial evaluates thermophysical properties of Li2CO3-Na2CO3-K2CO3 eutectic, suggesting improvements are needed for energy technologies.

Key Points

  • This work aims to assess the thermophysical properties of the Li2CO3–Na2CO3–K2CO3 eutectic mixture and identify gaps in existing data.
  • Critical assessment of literature on melting point from 670 K to 1200 K.
  • Examination of data quality and coherence through established methodologies.
  • Recommendations for high-temperature measurement methods of key properties.
  • Density data are robust, but major deficiencies exist in heat capacity, thermal conductivity, and viscosity measurements.
  • The need for comprehensive high-accuracy measurements is highlighted to improve reliability.
  • Reference correlations are proposed only where data are sufficiently robust.
