Abstract

Thermal radiation properties are investigated by a spectral experiment on three molten alkaline metal nitrates : lithium nitrate, sodium nitrate and potassium nitrate. A new technique is adopted for the highly corrosive liquid at high temperatures, and for measuring the absorption ranging from weak to strong in a wide spectral region. Reflectance spectra of the salt layers are measured at wavelengths from 0.4 to 13.0 μm. The results are analyzed to describe the spectral behavior of the refractive index and absorption coefficient by a continuous function of wavelength of radiation for the heat transfer engineering application.
