Explain why water is often used as a coolant in industrial processes.
Because it is cheap and readily available
Because it has a high specific heat capacity, allowing it to absorb a lot of heat without a significant rise in temperature
Because it is a good conductor of electricity
Because it is non-reactive with most metals

Discuss the implications of specific heat capacity in designing thermal systems for spacecraft.
High specific heat capacity materials are used to minimize temperature changes
Low specific heat capacity materials are used to minimize temperature changes
Specific heat capacity is irrelevant in space due to the vacuum
Materials with average specific heat capacity in order to balance heat release with resistance to heat absorption
