Abstract Transport properties of molten salts are encountered in a broad range of R&D tasks, particularly in areas of high-temperature thermal energy storage and in advanced battery concepts. This communication examines a semiempirical corresponding-states correlation as a predictive method using molten salts viscosities. Predictive calculations with molten NaCl and KNO3 as model systems, and with calibration quality data sets as the reference base, are used to evaluate this method. While the proper slope for the temperature dependence is “forecast,” the quality of the predicted data depend directly on the accuracy level of the one experimental value that is the seed for the calculations. Some results are described to show how such calculatins have proved useful in guiding value judgments in studies of the viscosity data in the open scientific literature.
