Melting Temperature Range: 204°C to 331.9°C. Talk with the supplier about the mixing ratio.

The idea here is to select and use an heat storage material, whose melting point is such that unused heat that appears at the output of the Burner and Turbine can be collected and pumped back into the Heat Storage (HS).

The specific heat (cp) of a substance at melting is defined to be 0J/kg.°K at melting.

It is the heat that a substance can accept while it is changing from a solid to a liquid and give up again when it is changing from a liquid to a solid that is used as a relevant amount in molten salt heat storage systems.

For Mobile (SHE) Heat Storage Application
Lithium:

These salts dissolve in water.
To mix them, dissolve in water, then evaporate the water, but one can also get the correct mixture from a supplier.

Starting amount of heat needed to bring m³ 39%NaNO2 + 61%NaOH up to 127°C
In this context, the amount of heat required to bring 1 39%NaNO2 _61%NaOH from 25°C up to 127°C will be called the "Primer Heat".

Primer_Heat = m *cp * T2- T1
mass m: Weight = 39%NaNO2 _61%NaOH = 2181.1Kg/m³
Specific Heat:  cp: 1.21kJ/(kg.K)
T1 = 25°C
T2 = 227°C
Temperature Difference Tdiff: 227°C - 25°C = 202°K

Primer_Heat = 2181.1Kg/m³ * 1.21kJ/(kg.K) * 202°K = 533.1MW/m³ = 148.08KWh
