Thermal conductivity of molten alkali halides and their mixtures with common anions is measured as a function of temperature. Use is made of the most reliable method of coaxial cylinders made of platinum, with radiation heat transfer being taken into account. It is found to vary directly with temper

✦ Synopsis
The thermal emf of alkali metal-alkali halide mixtures is calculated on the basis of two models, the Pitzr model which suggests that the metal is completely dissociated to cation and electron, and the Rice model which assumes no dissociation. The Rice model gives surprisingly good agreement with the only available datum, that for Cs in CsAu. It is suggested that these systems will show a significant improvement in the figure of merit over simple molten salt mixtures.

The catalytic activities of pure and mixed catalysts of alkali and transition metal salts in steam-char gasification at 700-850°C were measured with a thermobalance. The effects of catalyst loading (O-35 wt%) and composition, coal rank and steam partial pressure were determined. The initial rate inc
We show that in contrast to MSA the HNC approximation can account qualitatively for the long wavelength scattering of metal-molten salt solutions. The difference is attributed to the defects of the MSA in the description of the short-range as well as the long-range order in the liquid.
