Which liquid have low specific heat capacity

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on identifying liquids with low specific heat capacity, specifically those below 0.45 J/gK, which is the specific heat capacity of iron. A resource mentioned is MatWeb, where users can filter fluids based on their specific heat capacity. It is clarified that "heat conductor" and "low specific heat capacity" are not synonymous, as thermal conduction is typically dependent on heat capacity. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding these distinctions in thermal properties.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of specific heat capacity and its measurement.
  • Familiarity with thermal conductivity concepts.
  • Knowledge of fluid properties and classifications.
  • Experience using MatWeb for material property searches.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research specific heat capacity of various fluids using MatWeb.
  • Explore the relationship between thermal conductivity and heat capacity in materials.
  • Investigate applications of low specific heat capacity liquids in engineering.
  • Learn about thermal management techniques in heat transfer systems.
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, material scientists, and anyone involved in thermal management or fluid dynamics who seeks to understand the properties of liquids in relation to heat conduction and specific heat capacity.

On the left tree, click fluid.
On the right choose specific heat capacity, and set a number to your preference as max.
I have found 22 fluids which are below 0.45 J/gK (which is the specific heat capacity of iron).

"Heat conductor" is not the same thing as "low specific heat capacity".
Actually the thermal conduction is usually direct dependent on heat capacity (larger heat capacity=> larger thermal conduction).
 
thank you
