I've had this idea for a few years now, and while I know it wouldn't be practical for everyday use due to toxic evaporation, I wondered if anyone has ever tried using mercury as a coolant.
It's thermal conductivity is vastly superior to water, but I imagine the milestones one would run into would be the pump struggling against It's density, not to mention the possibility of it reacting negatively against any materials in the system and having to run the system in an open area.
Can anyone speculate on this?
