Which liquid have low specific heat capacity

AI Thread Summary
Fluids with low specific heat capacity can be identified by using resources like MatWeb, where users can filter for specific heat values. A specific heat capacity below 0.45 J/gK indicates good heat conduction properties, similar to iron. However, it's important to note that "heat conductor" and "low specific heat capacity" are not synonymous; higher heat capacity often correlates with better thermal conduction. The discussion emphasizes the distinction between these properties and the need for clarity when discussing thermal characteristics of liquids. Understanding these concepts is crucial for applications in heat transfer and material science.

can you please state some liquid which is a good heat conductor

(which have low 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
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
