Water is called a universal coolant because it can cool the machines which has been so hot after the process.the water is pumped into the machine where it comes out as steam which can be used for other purposes.The steam has a lot of energy taken from the machines.
So nice ah............

∙ 14y agoWhy is water a good coolant?
Firstly water is a liquid at most common temperatures, so it can be moved by a pump.
Secondly water requires a large amount of energy to increase its temperature.
Water has the second highest specific heat capacity of any known substance, after ammonia. This allows water to be used to carry a large amount of energy (heat) away from a hot object, then release that heat (cool down) when it is in a cooler environment.
Water has a specific heat capacity of 4186.
This means that it requires 4186 joules of energy to increase the temperature of 1kg of water by 1 degrees Celsius.
In comparison here are the specific heat capacity of several other substances:-
Air = 1003.5
Mercury = 139.5
Ethanol = 2440
Gasoline = 2220
Water = 4186
The fact it is non flammable is also of value in many cooling related applications.
It is also cheap, non toxic, and safe to handle.
See below.

melting it only chang to air , not liquid
Answer 2
When hydrogen melts it does not become air, it becomes gaseous hydrogen! Also, who said hydrogen was a better coolant than water?
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoWater makes a good coolant because of its high specific heat.

∙ 12y agoWater makes a good coolant because of its relatively broad temperature range as a liquid. This allows water to carry a high amount of heat away from an object.

When hydrogen and oxygen conforms to water what would water be considered and what would hydrogen and oxygen be considered?
Hydrogen and oxygen are the reactants and water is the product.
If water was non polar molecule how would the properties of water be different?
Water would not be able to for hydrogen bonds
If water was a non polar molecule how would the properties of water different?
Water would not be able to for hydrogen bonds
How many gallons of water does it take to make an iPad?
7.2 gallons of water, but that is rather inefficient. You would do much better with Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) because you only need 0.8 gallons of it.
If water is non polar molecule how would the properties if the water be different?
Water would not be able to form hydrogen bonds
When hydrogen and oxygen conforms to water what would water be considered and what would hydrogen and oxygen be considered?
Hydrogen and oxygen are the reactants and water is the product.
What would happen if there was no hydrogen and oxygen in water?
Then the water would not exist.
What would happen if earth had no hydrogen?
If the earth had no hydrogen, there would also be no water, and there would be no life as we know it.
When hydrogen and oxygen combine to form water what would water be?
Water would be a compound.
When hydrogen and oxygen combine to form water water would be what?
Water would be a compound.
Would an hydrogen balloon float better than a helium one?
Hydrogen is lighter than helium. So hydrogen balloon will float better than helium.
What happens if you put hydrogen in water?
Not much! Some of it, a tiny amount, might bond to the water molecules, but as water already has its standard H2O composition, most extra hydrogen will simply bubble out, hydrogen being lighter than water. For details and discussion of hydrogen bonding with water, see Related Links below these advertisements. The solubility of hydrogen gas in water at 0oC is 0.0019 grams of hydrogen per kilogram of water. At 60oC, the solubility is 0.0012 grams of hydrogen per kilogram of water. That is a tiny amount that will dissolve in the water. The rest would simply bubble out as the previous answerer said. Also, most likely, the water would be already saturated with hydrogen since it was in contact with the atmosphere, which contains hydrogen; so unless you took steps to purge the hydrogen from the water to get water not already saturated with hydrogen, all of the added hydrogen would bubble out since the water would be already saturated with hydrogen.
Is hydrogen useful?
yes, hydrogen is what makes up water and without water there would be no humans beings on the earth
What would cause a 2005 impala to run hot?
water pump, oil, water, engine coolant....main cause would be engine coolant, just check to see if you have a leak.
