Message	:************************** :Cliffs notes: :Liquid water is the best coolant in the world due to the fact that there is no known liquid (or any other phase of matter for that... er... matter) with a higher specific heat. :************************** as the best coolant in the world... that would be water + water wetter. :) Bernie, U.S. sales rep for...
