Could be due to the fact that cooling fan is not working and excessive temperature is causing pressure rise.

Most cooling fans come on low speed around 150 to 180 degrees Fahrenheit. Unless, your running the air conditioner or the defroster. Turning on your air will also activate the cooling fan.

It's not supposed to be on. It comes on when engine reaches certain temperature. But if you see that temperature gauge is going in the red area you need to check the fan relay, its fuse, and the temperature sensor.


Newton's law of cooling applies to objects that are?

Newton's law of cooling applies to objects that are both heating and cooling. Newton's Law of Cooling states that the rate of change of the temperature of an object is proportional to the difference between its own temperature and the temperature of its surroundings.

How does an electric fan give cooling effect on a hot day?

The cooling effect is from evaporation mainly. The fan moves an increased amount of air and speeds the evaporation from the skin or other moist surface. A fan blowing on a dry surface will have no cooling effect more than the average temperature of the air. Secondly, another cooling effect happens if the outer temperature is under 36C degree by pushing the hot (36C degree hot) air away from the surface over the surface of body and exchange it by a lower temperature one.


What causes the cooling fan on a 1997 Ford Escort not to shut off after the ignition is turned off causing it to run indefinitely?

The cooling fan is supposed to keep running as long as the coolant is over temperature. If it runs too long, it could be the temperature sensor or a stuck relay. If the relay has become magnetized or fused, you need to replace it.
