Recommended molten salt flow rate
Thread Content
In the chemical industry, does anyone know what the recommended flow rate in molten salt pipelines is – 2 m/s or 1 m/s?
Molten salt has been used, but the flow rate is not known. You can contact Qingda Huaye for consultation. At that time, the design and operating procedures for that device were provided by them.
At high temperatures, the viscosity of molten salts is similar to that of liquids, with flow rates ranging from 1.5 to 3.5 m/s; this value also depends on factors such as pressure and pipe diameter. The values of 1 m/s and 2 m/s mentioned by the original poster should be considered normal
