Modeling Approaches to Deriving Conceptual Structures for Molten Salts

VARIOUS MODELING APPROACHES TO DERIVING CONCEPTUAL STRUCTURES FOR MOLTEN SALTS 

The Hole Model A Fused Salt Is Represented as Full of Holes as a Swiss Cheese 

One of the models that can be used to approximately predict the properties of molten salts is called the hole model. The outstanding fact that led to this model is the large volume of fusion (10-20%) exhibited by simple salts on melting (Fig. 5.17). The basic idea of this rather artificial model is that within the liquid salt are tiny volume 

Although this model of a liquid was suggested independently of the results obtained from computer modeling, the imagined picture of the hole model in Fig. 5.17 closely resembles the picture (Fig 5.14) from Woodcock and Singer s model derived from the Monte Carlo approach.
