The specific heat of antifreeze varies greatly with temperature and the percent concentration of ethylene glycol (antifreeze). At room temperature, 100 percent concentration of ethylene glycol will have a specific heat of about .59 to .58. This value varies greatly from the specific heat of water. Most commercial antifreeze is about 95 % concentration of ethylene glycol.

Is antifreeze bad in a car's transmission if so how bad?

Yes Its Bad it has water in it a cause your oil to thickin and lose viscosity. More than likely you trans cooler in your radiator blew out. Get it flushed and fixed asap.


What is the viscosity of ethanol?

Viscosity of EthanolThe dynamic viscosity of ethanol varies with temperature (and pressure). At 25 degrees Celsius (and one atmosphere), it is 1.074 cP (1.074 mPa-s). Compare that to water's viscosity: 0.894 cP. At 20 degrees Celsius, the viscosity of ethanol increases to 1.20 cP.For further comparison, here are some other familiar liquids with lesser and greater viscosity.Corn syrup: 1381 cPMotor oil (SAE 40): 319 cPOlive oil: 81 cPEthylene glycol (antifreeze): 16.1 cPMercury: 1.526 cPMethanol: 0.544 cPAcetone: .306 cPcP (centipoise) = mPa-s (millipascal-second).

Can you put straight antifreeze in a radiator?

You may do so, however you car will not run at it' s optimum temperature. Because antifreeze is "thicker" (viscosity wise) than water it retains heat longer. Some people run only water and this cools the car fine however......water doesn't contain the lubricating and anti corossion properties that antifreeze does (let's not forget that antifreeze when mixed 50/50 with water keeps you engune from freezing in cold weather)..... If you run ONLY water (i.e. Have no issues with freezing) add a pruduct such as "waterwetter" or "black ice" for lubricity purposes.

How does viscosity happen?

Viscosity doesn't happen. Viscosity is a measure of how easily a liquid flows.


If a substance pours slowly it has a high?

viscosity


How do you increase viscosity?

Viscosity is the resistance of a liquid to flow. When temperature decreases Viscosity generally increases. Viscosity generally decreases when the temperature increases.


What is the viscosity definitions?

Viscosity is a fluids resistance to flow. A high viscosity fluid would be thick, a low viscosity fluid would be thin.


What is a sample of viscosity?

For example the viscosity of water.
