This isn't rocket science.

That being the case then water would be the heat sink of choice
because nothing holds heat better than water.

Nothing? Really?

LOL!

Picky are we? OK, one thing is better at holding heat, ammonia.

I assume we're talking about specific heat?
Is the ammonia allowed a phase change?

Sheesh, I'm gonna have to start carrying my roll of taped up dimes
again, when I wander into the garden. I'd say that the group had spring
fever, but I know it isn't spring.

Sure, let the ammonia have a dang phase change. Make it plasma if you
like. Don't be timid now. Where are you going with this? Is there a
planet circling a star in Andromeda, where if one knows where to look,
there is this substance under a rock, that makes water #3? (In specific
heat that is, not like ice #9.)

What leads you to that flange-headed opinion? Uh, if I may ask?

look up evaporation. Look up conduction. Try to learn the difference.
Another hint: R only refers to one.

Presumptuous and derisive, therefore, you must be a poser. Well, good
luck with that, flange-head.
