Abstract

Thermal radiation properties are investigated on three molten alkaline metal chlorides: lithium chloride, sodium chloride and potassium chloride. Reflectance spectra of the salt layers are measured at wavelengths from 0.5 to 13.0 μm. The semi-transparent regions of the salts are found to cover the entire wavelength region of the Planckian distribution. The results are analyzed to evaluate the spectra of refractive index and absorption coefficient. Conductive-radiative transfer in the salts is calculated on a simple system to demonstrate the dominant contribution of radiation transfer.
