MSTDB Presented to Hundreds of MSR Workshop Attendees

 

Both the MSTDB-TC and MSTDB-TP were presented at the 2022 MSR Workshop, in order to provide universities, national laboratories, and industry partners with information and updates on both databases.

Jacob Yingling, a former PhD student at University of South Carolina (now INL employee), presented on MSTDB-TC version 2.0,  providing an overview of which salt systems were assessed for their thermodynamic properties within the database. Jacob provided some example thermodynamic assessments of NaCl-KCl-MgCl2 with UCl3-UCl4 and CrCl2. Jacob also provided an analysis of the temperature and composition dependent formation of CrCl2, looking at the consequential corrosion of Hastelloy-N.

Nicholas Termini, a technical professional at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, presented on MSTDB-TP version 2.0. Nicholas provided an overview of which salts systems were in the database, highlighting key gaps in terms of salts systems and thermophysical properties which still need evaluated. Nicholas also presented on the computational efforts for thermophysical property estimation, which are enabled by the data in MSTDB-TP. Finally, Nicholas discussed Saline, which is the API for MSTDB-TP, allowing NEAMS codes to pull data from MSTDB-TP.
