摘要: 相变熔盐目前是太阳能热发电的重要传蓄热介质,其结构和性质之间的定量关系是相变熔盐研究的热点。本文采用分子动力学方法,利用Buckingham势函数,对NaNO3-KNO3-NaNO2三元混合熔盐的结构和性质进行了研究。计算了混合熔盐在不同温度下的径向分布函数、配位数、角分布函数等结构信息,以及密度、剪切黏度、热导率、比热容等性质。结果表明,计算得到的各项性质与文献值吻合较好,验证了势函数和计算方法的可靠性,为计算机模拟指导熔盐配方、熔盐构效关系定量研究奠定了基础。

Abstract: Phase-change salt is an important heat transfer and storage material for concentrated solar power plants. This calls for a quantitative understanding of the relationship between the structure and properties of molten salts. We performed molecular dynamics simulations on NaNO3-KNO3-NaNO2 ternary molten salts using Buckingham potential with an aim to understand such relationship. The simulations gave structural information such as radical distribution function, coordination number and angular distribution function, and physical properties including density, shear viscosity, thermal conductivity and heat capacity. The results showed that all the properties calculated agree well with the literature data, suggesting the reliability of pair potential and simulation method used in the work.
