You want a liquid that is not compressible so polar compounds are preferres. For safety, the nontoxic and highly stable silicones are used. They have low vapor pressures and high boiling points so they remain liquid and are quite noncompressible.
This type of thermostat is filled with Alcohol, which responds well to changes in airconditioned space.

What is Siwoloboff method - slide6?
Siwoloboff's method is a method used to establish the boiling point-composition curve of a binary system. It is particularly well adopted for the determination of boiling points of small samples of pure liquids and of mixtures. In this method, the open end of a short capillary tube (sealed at the other end) is immersed in the liquid under investigation. The tube serves as a manometer to determine the temperature at which the vapor pressure ofthe liquid is equal to the pressure of the atmosphere (boiling point definition)
The function of a capillary tube in a refrigerator?
The capillary tube acts as a restriction in the circuit between the condenser and evaporator. The liquid refrigerant in the condenser is at a high pressure, say 12 bar and it goes through the cap. tube into a region at low pressure, say 3 bar. It then evaporates, producing the cooling effect. The vapour is then compressed by the compressor and goes round again. Large refrigeration plants use an automatic valve for this function to optimise performance under different conditions. A fixed jet could be used, but the hole would be so small that it would easily be blocked. There may be other capillary tubes in some fridges, which are part of a thermometer or thermostat.
What is stalagmometer?
An instrument for measuring the size of drops suspended from a capillary tube, used in the drop-weight method. Also known as stactometer; stalogometer.
What is the difference between a capillary tube and a expansion valve?
The throttling devise can be the valve or the copper tubing that allows the flow of the refrigerant through very small opening also called as the orifice. The throttling devices allow restricted flow of the refrigerant. The throttling devices are also called as the expansion valves because when the refrigerant passes through them the pressure of the refrigerant drops down or it expands..Capillary tube is one of the most commonly used throttling devices in the refrigeration and the air conditioning systems. The capillary tube is a copper tube of very small internal diameter. It is of very long length and it is coiled to several turns so that it would occupy less space. The internal diameter of the capillary tube used for the refrigeration and air conditioning applications varies from 0.5 to 2.28 mm (0.020 to 0.09 inches). Capillary tube used as the throttling device in the domestic refrigerators, deep freezers, water coolers and air conditioners.
What liquid is inside a filament transformer?
The predominate liquid used inside a filament transformer is mercury. Mercury is used to keep the transformer cool when under heavy use. Mercury is a cheap and long lasting liquid.
Where can thermostats be found?
Thermostats can be found in the kitchen where they can be used to control heat.
What is quincke 's method?
Quincke's method is a technique used to determine the surface tension of a liquid by measuring the maximum height to which the liquid rises in a capillary tube. It involves carefully introducing the liquid into the tube and allowing it to rise due to capillary action until it reaches equilibrium. The surface tension can then be calculated using the measured height and the properties of the liquid and the tube.
Where thermometer are used?
Mostly in thermostats.
What is the function of capillary tube?
The capillary tube is used on the inside of the refrigerators. It is a long copper tubing that is used as a thruster.
What word is used for the curved upper surface of a liquid in a tube?
It is called a MENISCUS caused by capillary action betweem the molecules of the liquid and the molecules of the container, and resulting from surface tension within the liquid. In addition: Adhesion: Making one material adhere to another.
Name the fuel used in cryogenic engine?
Liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen
What is the name of the liquid used to clean swimming pool?
The liquid is called Chlorine.
Why should the lateral side of the infant's heel be used for capillary puncture?
Because of abundant capillary flow.
Why wick is not used in gas burners?
A wick is necessary in lamps that burn a liquid. The wick is a piece of cloth uses to soak in the liquid so the liquid works its way up (by capillary action) to supply it to the flame. Gas itself flows out of a burner and burns. I'm not sure that explanation is clear.

What is the usage of capillary viscometer?
A Capilliary Viscometer measures the speed at which a lquid can be forced through a narrow tube (a capillary). Thicker liquids (high viscosity like treacle) will take a lot longer to squeeze through the tube than a thin liquid (like white spirit). If you take a fluid (liquid) like blood it could be put through a Viscometer like this to see if your blood was too thick or thin. Also it could be used to check if your engine oil met up to spec.
