room heater warm by radiation
it warms the air particles... witch then transfer the heat to you
Electricity energy is converted into internal energy through work. As the internal energy of the heater increases so, too, does its temperature. Energy is then lost to the surroundings through heat transfer. The change in the heater's internal energy is the difference between the work done on the heater and the heat transfer away from it.
That would be the radiator and heater core.
All three methods of heat transfer occur: conduction, convection, radiation. However, heaters are often designed to transfer lots of heat via radiation.
Convection
it's because of heat transfer into convection .
this is because the major heat transfer in it, is convection.and it is better to name it convector.
Low coolant. If the coolant is low then the heater core is not able to transfer heat in to the car.
Convection heat transfer is the transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid.
Only if you're referring to an electric heater ... since all loses are also heat. The real world answer is no.
It depends on the how many degrees you wish to change the water and the wattage of the heater. Obviously a 1500 watt heater will do it faster than a 1000 watt heater. You might want to begin by looking at the heat transfer formula: heat in joules equals mass times change in temperature times specific heat of the material (water in this case).
