Question
Chapter 5, Problem 12STP
To determine
To Describe: The water is useful as a coolant.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 12STP
The water is used as coolant because it has high thermal capacity.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Water has some properties for which it is used as coolant in many places including industrial plants.
Water has high specific heat capacity, low cost making, easy availability, low viscosity and also has strong molecular bonds which make it perfect for coolant. The heat easily flows through the molecules of the water so it can absorb a lot of heat.
Conclusion:
Hence, the water is useful as a coolant.
