Organic Air Pollutants
Published in Stanley E. Manahan, Environmental Chemistry, 2022
The most common of the many uses of these chemicals is for the manufacture of other chemicals. Methanol is widely used in the manufacture of formaldehyde (see Section 11.4) as a solvent, and mixed with water as an antifreeze formulation. Ethanol is used as a solvent and as the starting material for the manufacture of acetaldehyde, acetic acid, ethyl ether, ethyl chloride, ethyl bromide, and several important esters. Both methanol and ethanol can be used as motor vehicle fuels, usually in mixtures with gasoline. Ethylene glycol is a common antifreeze compound.
Fluids
Published in Daniel H. Nichols, Physics for Technology, 2019
Antifreeze is made from ethylene glycol and can prevent the water in your car radiator from freezing, depending on the concentration in your radiator. The hydrometer can read the specific gravity of the radiator fluid and therefore determine the concentration of the antifreeze. The concentration determines the fluid’s freezing temperature (see Table 8.1).

Radiative heat effects on ethylene glycol and engine oil-based Hall current of Casson nanoliquids

As the engine oil is having high viscosity index, thermal stability, and oxidation stability, it is used as an antioxidant and anti-foaming agent, to minimize friction and wear by lubricating each component of the bearing. And ethylene glycol is the most common antifreeze fluid substance for standard cooling and heating applications. The prime applications of recent research were seen in the production of paints, hydraulic brake fluids, and solvents, as well as glass fiber, synthetic fiber, metal extrusion, and other technical activities. Additionally, the study can be expanded to examine the thermal transport properties of different combinations of hybrid nanofluids under various boundary restrictions.
