Cooling Copper Conductors: Find a Solution to Keep the Temperature Low

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the need for effective cooling solutions for hollow copper conductors that can reach temperatures up to 100 degrees Celsius. The original poster seeks recommendations for coolants or gases, similar to SF6, that can be circulated through the copper tubes to maintain lower temperatures. A suggestion is made to consult engineering forums for more specialized knowledge on coolants. Additionally, one participant shares their experience with using water as a coolant for copper tubes in different applications, emphasizing the importance of providing detailed system information when seeking advice.

Hello all,
I am doing a research which involves hollow copper conductors. I would like to know about some kind of coolant or gas (like SF6) which can be passed through the copper tube to cool it, the temperature of the copper conductor can reach upto 100 degree C. The coolant should cool the conductor quickly so as the temperature at any point should not go high.

I think you should ask on engineering forum, they use coolants all the time so they know much more about them.

yes, ask engineers. But, give them some details of the system other than the required temperature.
My only experience with copper tubes containing coolants was with big triacs, which we cooled with water.
 
It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...
I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
