Why is water used as a coolant in car radiators?
Water is used as coolant in car radiators because it has high specific heat capacity of 4200 Joules. It has the highest specific heat capacity than any other substance. That is why it is used as coolant in car radiators
What substance is used in engine coolant?
Ethylene Glycol.
What substance is used in a nuclear reactor to absorb heat released from the reactor?
Coolant, such as water or a specific type of liquid metal, is used in a nuclear reactor to absorb the heat released during the nuclear fission process. The coolant carries away the heat and helps to regulate the temperature within the reactor to prevent overheating.
How can one determine the heat of combustion for a given substance?
To determine the heat of combustion for a substance, one can conduct a calorimetry experiment where the substance is burned in a controlled environment and the heat released is measured. This heat release is then used to calculate the heat of combustion for the substance.
What is an instrument used to dissolve heat?
Heat is not a physical substance which can be dissolved.
What do you call heat that is added or removed from a substance but does not change the state of the substance sensible heat latent heat super heat or radiation heat?
Sensible heat is the term used to describe heat that is added or removed from a substance without changing its state. It relates to the temperature of the substance and can be measured using a thermometer.
How does the nuclear energy is turn into other energy such as electrical energy?
When an atom splits one of the forms of energy produced may be heat. This heat may be gathered by circulating a coolant substance such as water around or near the radioactive substance to produce steam. The steam is used to drive a turbine and the turbine drives an electical generator.
What is the function of coolant in nuclear power plant?
The reactor coolant is used to extract heat from the nuclear fuel and hence maintains its integrity.
What is the heat capacity equation and how is it used to calculate the amount of heat required to change the temperature of a substance?
The heat capacity equation is Q mcT, where Q represents the amount of heat energy, m is the mass of the substance, c is the specific heat capacity of the substance, and T is the change in temperature. This equation is used to calculate the amount of heat required to change the temperature of a substance by multiplying the mass, specific heat capacity, and temperature change.
Under what conditions heat can be given to a substance without raising its temperature?
If the substance is in solid condition and at the melting temperature, heat can be given without rising the temperature. Then the substance melts and all the heat will be used in the melting process. Also when the substance is at the boiling temperature you can add heat without rising the temperature. At that point the heat is used to vaporate the substance.
The movement of coolant and the flow of heat when a heat pump is used to cool a building?
I would but there is no way that I can do a diagram
What is a flammable substance used to heat homes?
Propane and buetane
