Experimental Study on Migration and Heat Transfer Characteristics of Three Potential Molten Salts Leaking into Tank Foundation Materials

The leakage of molten salt tanks has attracted great attention in molten salt tower concentrating solar power plants. The current research on the leakage characteristics of molten salt mainly focuses on Solar Salt, and there is no report on the leakage characteristics of molten salt with great application potential, which is crucial to the design of molten salt tanks and their foundations in the future. In addition, there is no unified explanation for the morphological characteristics of the agglomerates formed after the molten salt leakage. In this paper, the migration and heat transfer characteristics of three potential molten salts (60–10-20–20 wt
