coumpound used as radiato in automobiles?

Question

ethyl alcohol or methyl alcohol?

Answer 1

Car radiator coolant is a mix of anti-freeze and water. Engine coolant is designed to protect your car radiator and cooling system all year round. Many different brands and varieties of engine coolant exist. Most have additives that are intended to protect your cooling system by preventing corrosion, lubricating, and increasing cooling efficiently.
Types of Anti-Freeze
There are three primary types of anti-freeze for your car’s radiator cooling system:

Ethylene Glycol/Polyethylene Glycol. Tried and true, this type of anti-freeze is still standard after almost 70 years. Modern ethylene glycol anti-freezes have several additives to protect, clean, and lubricate your cooling system.
Non-Toxic Radiator Coolant. This anti-freeze does not contain ethylene glycol or polyethylene glycol (both acutely toxic). These engine coolants are, however, still toxic but only in larger quantities and over longer periods.
Extended-Life Anti-Freeze. In most cases, this is simply an ethylene glycol anti-freeze with one or more carboxylate additives to prevent corrosion of the cooling system. These engine coolants should make your car radiator and cooling system last longer.
Engine Coolant Additives
Engine coolant additives for your car radiator are meant to:

Reduce cooling system corrosion. Every cooling system will corrode eventually, but you might as well slow the process down as much as you can.
Reduce cavitation. In large diesel engines, air or tiny bubbles in your coolant can cause serious problems. If you own a diesel vehicle, it is highly recommended that you use a cavitation reducing engine coolant.
Buffer the acidity of your engine coolant. The more acidic your engine coolant, the more quickly it can corrode and damage your cooling system and car radiator.
Raise the boiling point of the engine coolant. A higher boiling temperature means that the coolant can cool better as your engine gets hotter. It also reduces the chance of blowing a head gasket.
Common engine coolant additives include: nitrates (corrosion inhibitors, buffers), silicates (corrosion inhibitors, especially for aluminum radiators), carboxylates (buffers, corrosion inhibitors), and borates (buffers).

Never mix different types of engine coolant. You can damage or further reduce your car radiator’s efficiency by mixing the different types. Before you change types, thoroughly drain and flush your cooling system.

Answer 2

Is there a question here? If there is I will go for ethylene glycol that is none of the above.

of course if you tried methyl alcohol the results would be disasterous as it reacts with aluminum (in the cylinder head).

Answer 3

The word fission means to split apart. Inside the reactor of an atomic power plant, uranium atoms are split apart in a controlled chain reaction. In a chain reaction, particles released by the splitting of the atom go off and strike other uranium atoms splitting those. Those particles given off split still other atoms in a chain reaction. In nuclear power plants, control rods are used to keep the splitting regulated so it doesn't go too fast. If the reaction is not controlled, you could have an atomic bomb. But in atomic bombs, almost pure pieces of the element Uranium-235 or Plutonium, of a precise mass and shape, must be brought together and held together, with great force. These conditions are not present in a nuclear reactor. The reaction also creates radioactive material. This material could hurt people if released, so it is kept in a solid form. The very strong concrete dome in the picture is designed to keep this material inside if an accident happens. Another form of nuclear energy is called fusion. Fusion means joining smaller nuclei (the plural of nucleus) to make a larger nucleus. The sun uses nuclear fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium atoms. This gives off heat and light and other radiation. In the picture to the right, two types of hydrogen atoms, deuterium and tritium, combine to make a helium atom and an extra particle called a neutron. Also given off in this fusion reaction is energy! Thanks to the University of California, Berkeley for the picture. Scientists have been working on controlling nuclear fusion for a long time, trying to make a fusion reactor to produce electricity. But they have been having trouble learning how to control the reaction in a contained space. What's better about nuclear fusion is that it creates less radioactive material than fission, and its supply of fuel can last longer than the sun. to you question WHY? Use the Force!

Answer 4

Preferably ethanol as decreases the freezing point of the water and remains as liquid at low temperatures. As compared to methanol, ethanol is less toxic and does not cause irreversible damage to delicate organs of the human body.

Answer 5

Glycerol

Answer 6

It is ethyl alcohol

Answer 7

What's the difference?

Answer 8

If you are referring to anti-freeze, it is usually mostly ethylene glycol.
