" Specific Heat Capacity"

"Specific Heat Capacity is the amount of heat a particular substance
can hold. Typically expressed in kJ/kgK, the rate depicts how many
kilojoules of energy are required to change the temperature of one
kilogram of said substance by one Kelvin."

Water                       4.184
Methanol                   2.55
Ethanol                     2.48
Glycol, Antifreeze      2.38
Liquid Nitrogen          2.04
Benzene                   1.72
3M Flourinert FC-43   1.47
Freon 11                   0.87
Mercury                    0.14

" The specific heat capacities show water to be the best liquid for
holding heat. Practically, it is also the best for transferring it."

Then, a claim of greatness for Redline's Water Wetter --
