प्रश्न
Why is water used as a coolant in radiators of a car?
Advertisements
उत्तर
When water passes through a pipe surrounded by a hot part of the engine, heat energy is removed from those parts. Because water has high specific heat capacity, water in pipes may extract more heat from the environment without significantly raising its temperature. As a result, the car's radiator and generator are both filled with water.
