How does a hot water radiator heat a room's air?
It heats from the celci-di that heats an outdoors calborithm
How does heat get from inside the boiler to the wall behind the radiator?
Conduction of heat energy from the source to the water in the boiler. A pump moves the hot water to the radiator.The heat radiates out from the radiator to the air, where convection then circulates it through the room.
How does heat move from a radiator to a room?
hot water flows through the meta pipes and warms it up therefore warming up the room .
Does a radiator make heat like a heater?
no, its a common misconception, it may be called a radiator but it doesn't radiate heat, it convects heat, from the hot water that is piped around it
What does latent heat causes?
Latent heat has the ability to do something in a given time period. Take a water heated radiator, latent heat has the ability to make the radiator warm or hot according to the temprature of the water. It will continue to do this until the water stops flowing through the radiator and the radiator begins to cool.

How does a room with a hot radiator get hot?
The room heats by convection transfer into the air, aided by humidity produced when water is heated.

How does the heat energy get from the hot water to the outside of the radiator?
The hot water is in contact with the metal casing of the radiator, so that metal radiator takes some heat from the water. The heat then passes from the inside metal of radiator to the outside metal of the radiator through convection. The outside metal of the radiator then passes it to the air that is blowing by it outside.
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 thermal energy from a radiator reach the other side of the room?
Hot air from a radiator reaches the other side of a room by convection current. Convection current is when hot water/ air rises, hot water/ air cools, cool water/ air sinks, cool water/ air warms and then the cycle starts over.

Explain how convection could be used to heat a room with a hot radiator on one side of the room?
Hot air rises to the ceiling and as it cools on the far side of the ceiling it sinks back down to the floor on the opposite side of the room from the radiator. It will not evenly heat the room. To get the best comfort level, you need a ceiling fan to push the hot air to the floor. The hot radiator sets up convection currents that transfer thermal energy to the rest of the room and eventually heat the entire room. How do convection currents work? The hot radiator warms the air that is closest to the radiator. The warm air expands, becomes less dense and rises to the top of the room. When the air reaches the top of the room it is pushed sideways towards the far wall by the more recently warmed air rising from the radiator below. In this way warm air moves to the other side of the room. Once on the other side of the room the air drops down both because it has cooled a little and because the air behind it continues to push on it. The air then continues to circulate back to the radiator and repeat the process.
