greetings colleagues!

 

i need a liquid which is a good heat conductor but not a conductor of electricity ,and also must be fluid.

 

i need that liquid for a research of a new project at uni.

 

by the way the cheaper liquid is better

Doesn't water fit that description?

Doesn't water fit that description?

 

water even if pure , conducts a bit of electric ,right? i'm not sure but i think pure water conducts elec.

 

"0,055 µS/cm (25ºC)" i found this for pure water. so pure water does't fit

thanks anyway.do u have any other ideas i'm really curious.

Some kind of mineral oil would be a good idea, like the ones used in oil baths.

like what? do u know any chemical formula or name?

oil is a good heat conductor that's why it's used in engines but are they non conductor of electricity?

even if it conducts a little bit that would not work.

thank u losfomot

now i'm gonna dig out that oil's limit values and search for 2 liters .

mineral oil can be found at grocery stores.... its used as a laxative

im sure there are plenty of other places to get mineral oil but the mineral oil that is fit for human consumption i would hope would be pretty pure (but more expensive)
