In simple tearms

A Liquid Cooling engine works by using Water and Ani Freeze to travel from the resevwar to the engine via a Water Pump, and it travels through water jackets that cool the engine down. when that water gets to hot the Thermostart opens to let water out from the engine through the return pipe and goes through the radiator fins to cool the Hot water down, then goes back into the engine to cool again. Its a cycle

What is the Disadvantage of an air cooled engine compared to a liquid cooled engine?

The dis advantage is that it takes longer to cool the motor as to a liquid cooling it. You can mess up your motor alot quicker also.

How does an internal combustion engine rely on metals to conduct heat .?

Some heat from the combustion chamber goes out in the exhaust, but some gets conducted from the cylinder walls into the water jacket (liquid cooling). In an air cooled engine, heat is conducted into the fins and ultimately convected and radiated to the environment. If that did not happen, the engine would quickly overheat. That could cause it to sieze, or the fuel could preignite, basically throwing the ignition timing way, way off and the engine would stop.

How many types of engineering?

The engine are classified based on combustion (ignition), fuel used, cooling, application and constructions. Based on the combustion type : 1. External combustionengines and 2. Internal combustion engines Based on fuel used : 1. Diesel engines, 2. Petrol engines, 3. CNG engines and LPG engines Based on cooling system : 1. Air cooled engines and 2. Liquid cooled engines Based on applications : 1. Statinary engine 2. Rocket engine and 3. Automobile engine Based on construction : 1. Inline engines, 2. Opposed engines, 3. Rotary engine, 4. V-engines and 5. W engines

What is better a liquid or fan cooled snowmobile?

well, you have to decide whats better for ypu.. but liquid is faster and has more power, fans are slower and overheat quicker, but are easier to work onBut a fan cooled engine will stay cooler in warmer (40*) weather than a liquid,they also tend to do better on packed snow where liquids do better in deep powder.

Would an air-cooled or liquid-cooled bike have better overall value?

Liquid-cooled are alot easier on your engine. But, like anything else, there's always downsides, with LC, you now have to worry about keep levels correct, replacements of rads, water pump, etc. Air-cooled bikes are just less maintenance in that department, nice, but on a hot riding day, they are more or less likely to pop that temperature light on. Liquid-cooled engines are heavier
