The thermal conductivities of molten alkali fluorides (LiF, NaF, and KF) and their mixtures (LiF–NaF, LiF–KF, and NaF–KF binaries and LiF–NaF–KF ternary) are predicted using molecular dynamics simulation with the Green–Kubo method. A polarizable ion model is used to describe the interionic interactions. All the systems except LiF–KF and LiF–NaF–KF mixtures follow a scaling law: it is proportionnal tomA–1/2(N/V)2/3, wheremAis the arithmetic average of the ionic species masses in a given melt andNis the total number of ions included in the system volumeV. In LiF–KF and LiF–NaF–KF mixtures a significant departure from the scaling law is observed. By examining separately the effects of the cation mass and size asymmetry in LiF–KF mixtures, we show that both of them account for half of the deviation. Finally, we observe that the temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity is very small in these molten fluorides.
