How does the heat energy get from the hot water to the outside of the radiator?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
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.

∙ 11y agoThe heat from an object (such as coolant, or a hot object) is transferred into a mechanism (such as a heat sink or a radiator) that contains numerous small chambers and fins, creating a large surface area. The heat accumulated in the fins disperses into the air. Heat from liquids is transferred via convection, and from solids via conduction.

What energy does hot water have?
If you mean the water in the oceans, it is the sun's energy that does this. Water absorbs Kinetic Energy to 'heat up'. Therefore, any energy source that can impart Kinetic Energy to Water will heat it.
What is the best way to distribute heat in water?
kinetic energy turns into heat energy which heat's the water SLOWLY (keep frantically moving) ;D
What is a hurricane's source of energy?
Heat of water.
If 30.86g of H2O is frozen (from liquid to solid) how much heat energy is required?
No heat (energy) is required to freeze water (from liquid to solid). Freezing RELEASES energy (heat), as it is an exothermic event. If you want to know how much energy is release, you need to know the heat of fusion for water, and then multiply that by the mass of water being frozen.
When water evaporate it heat energy and the surrounding air?
when water evaporates it absorbs heat energy and cools the surrounding air
What is a better absorber and radiator of heat energy soil or water?
Water absorbs and radiates heat better than soil does.
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.
What source of energy does a radiator use?
its thermal energy because it has heat and a radiator to warm your feet uses heat so that is why its thermal energy.:)
How does heat from a radiator travel outside?
exothermic heat by radiation in physics
What are the properties of radiator liquid and what is the liquids in radiatores?
Liquids in radiators are usually water & oil. The properties of these are that they heat up fairly quickly and store energy for a long time, releasing heat energy slowly. This makes the radiator effective in what it is designed to do.

How does heat from a radiator transfer?
The heat energy from the radiator transfers that energy to the air molecules next to it. Those molecules then transfer that heat energy to the molecules next to them. This process continues until all the molecules are at the same energy level. This process is call conduction.
What is radiator in case of heat engine?
Radiator is a device to cool the heat engin using water as a coolent
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.
Why does the water in a car radiator sometimes boil explosively when the radiator cap is removed?
Because when the cap is removed the liquid inside wants to start cooling itself. The heat energy is released by boiling.
What property is required of a car radiator?
The ability to transfer heat energy.
Why do you have black water in your car radiator?
to absorb heat
