What type of radiator can provide heat and air conditioning?
a radiator that provides heat and cooling
Is hot air rises over a radiator physical or chemical process?
The rising of hot air over a radiator is a physical process. It is due to the difference in temperature between the heated air near the radiator and the cooler air in the surrounding environment. As the air near the radiator becomes warmer, it expands and becomes less dense, causing it to rise and be replaced by cooler air. This process, known as convection, is a form of heat transfer.
What does the radiator in a car do?
As coolant cycles through the engine, it absorbs heat from the engine, after which, it continues through the cooling system back to the radiator. As the coolant passes through the radiator, the heat is exchanged to the ambient air by way of airflow through the radiator fins (this is why it's important not to bend the radiator fins).
What does a radiator do?
In your car, the radiator transfers its heat to the surroundings - the air. [Strictly, this is conduction, but don't quibble. This is mechanic talk.] In your room, the radiator does radiate heat into the room.
What is the radiator's job is?
the radiator's job is to transfer heat to air that passes through the radiator. pasta master (novanet)
What has numerous water and air passages to dissipate heat?
A Radiator.
What is the method of heat transfer between two air masses?
The primary method of heat transfer between two air masses is convection.
How is heat from the air surrounding the radiator transferred to the air in the rest of the room?
Heat gets into the room in two ways: convection and infrared radiation. The "fins" of a radiator heat the air molecules around it, causing them to expand. As the hot air expands, it rises, creating a vacuum behind it.
How does a radiator work?
AnswerRadiators work by radiating heat into the air and cooling the engine. Coolant flows through the engine block and then to the radiator. The cooling fan helps keep the radiator cool allowing the heat to be put out into the air. This is correct
Body heat tranferred to the air by what?
The body transfer heat to air by a heat transfer method called radiation.
What does engine coolant do?
Transferrs heat from the engine to the radiator the to the air it also transferrs heat to the heater core for warm air inside the vehicle
How does a hot water radiator heat a room?
The hot water heats the metal of the radiator, which heats the surrounding air. The warm air circles round the room.
