Does specific heat capacities have anything to do with different metals in a bimetallic strip used in a thermostat?

The principal thing is linear expansion rates as temperatures rise, different metals have different rates of expansion. In a bimetallic strip, one layer of one metal is fused onto one layer of another metal with a different linear expansion rate, when heated the strip will curve along its length due to the different expansion rates, the greater the temperature rise, the more the curvature, this movement is used to trip a switch.

Where would you use what is a bimetallic strip?
A bi metallic strip is simply two different metal strips sandwitched together. When the bimetallic strip heats up it bends because one of the metals expands more than the other one when it gets hot. Bi metallic strips are used in cars. When the engine heats up too much the bi metallic strip bends to open the cooling valve (thermostat) to let coolant circulate around the engine body to cool it down. Then the strip bends back once it gets cool again. So its like a heat switch. Bi metallic strips are used for anything that needs a heat switch.
What are the different ways of energy productions?
anything
Does an aluminum can weigh the same after you crush it?
yes. because you didn't add anything to it or take anything away from it. so it's just a different size.
What are some different materials that can transmit vibrations?
anything you can think of. (wood,paper) any thing in the world
Which occurs when a wave is reflected?
It moves in a direction which is different from before it was reflected. Anything else depends on the wave and the reflecting surface.
Do you need to remove anything to replace the thermostat?
no
How much coolant does a dodge ram hold?
All capacities are mostly model specific. You have to look up the type of engine you have (i.e. 2.4L, 5.2L, 5.8L, etc.), since they have different capacities. You could try the manufacturers website, or if you have a little extra money laying around, buy a Hanes manual for your vehicle. That would tell you everything you need to know from fluid capacities to torque specifications and how to change out pretty much anything in or on the vehicle.

What is the operating temp for 2.5 4-cylinder 1990 jeep wrangler?
The normal operating temperature is always dependent on the thermostat in other words a 195 degree thermostat will give you near 195 degrees temperature anything different will be a problem with either the cooling system or the temperature gauge
Does a thermostat have anything to do with the ac heater?
no indeed it doesnt have anything to do with it. you see the ac heater has diffrent conections in where the theremostat has nothing to do with if u were talking with temperature changes maybe it would.
Where is the thermostat located on a 1986 Honda Civic?
all I am trying to fimd out is where is the location of the thermostat on a 1986 Honda Civic I don't want to join anything I thought that you or this web site would help me guess not thanks Lanny
Why does my engine now run at 100 deg instead of the usual 210 degrees could it be anything but the thermostat?
The thermostat is the most likely cause, other than that the temp sensor could have failed sending the wrong temp reading to the gauge.
Where is the thermostat located on a 2002 Malibu?
Follow the top radiator hose down to the water outlet; the stat is in there. this does not tell me anything it is not located here! anyone could say this thats where most cars places for the thermostat is. but not on a 2002 Malibu. This answer is useless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How do you change the thermostat on a 1999 Chrysler Concorde?
You should have the 5.2 engine with your Limited, but some have been ordered with the 4.0. The Thermostat is located on the front of the engine at the end of the Radiator hose. It is between the Alternator, and the A/C Compressor. You might find it easier to remove the Alternator to get to the 2 bolts that hold in the Thermostat Housing. remove them, clean the housing and the surface it sits on, install a new gasket and thermostat and put back anything else you may have taken apart.
