I always thought that a working substance / coolant with a high heat capacity is better since it can take in more thermal energy. why then are some of the most common heat exchange fluid chemicals ones with low heat capacities?
acetone and freon for example, are commonly used heat exchange fluids. But what makes them better candidates than water which has a higher specific heat capacity?
