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.

What are the two things metal can conduct?
All metals conduct electricity.All metals conduct electricity.All metals conduct electricity.All metals conduct electricity.
Which metals do not conduct electricity?
all metals conduct electricity but alumiun doesn't conduct it as well as others all metals conduct electricity but alumiun doesn't conduct it as well as others
What elements are nonconducting?
if you mean the conduction of electricity then.... all non-metals do not conduct(excluding carbon which does conduct) all metals conduct although some conduct better than others
What are elements that conduct electricity classified as?
These elements are metals.
What metals can't conduct electricity?
By definition, a solid metal, including liquid mercury, in its elemental form should conduct electricity. Under what condition a metal cannot conduct electricity? Normally when a metal is oxidized, the result is highly resistive, but then the oxide film (such as rust) is no longer considered metallic. Some metals, such as sodium, don't normally exist in its elemental form in nature. If these metals are somehow kept out of trouble (air), they too should conduct electricity. ==================================
What are the characteristics of the lanthanides?
They are silvery metals that conduct electricity.
What metals conduct sound?
All metals can conduct sound, but some conduct it a bit better than others.
Which can conduct electricity metals or non-metals?
Mainly metals. All metals are fairly good conductors. Some non-metals can conduct electricity, as well.

Which metals do not conduct electricity?
all metals conduct electricity but alumiun doesn't conduct it as well as others all metals conduct electricity but alumiun doesn't conduct it as well as others
Do metals conduct?
yes
What can all metals do?
Conduct
Can semi metal conduct electricity?
Yes, although they won't conduct it as well as regular metals. Semi-metals have characteristics of both metals and nonmetals.
Are alkali metals thermal or electrical conductivity?
The alkali metals are the most reactive metals in the periodic table of elements.
What elements are nonconducting?
if you mean the conduction of electricity then.... all non-metals do not conduct(excluding carbon which does conduct) all metals conduct although some conduct better than others
Which metals conduct electricity when in solid?
Zinc and other metals
What do metals do more easier then non metals?
conduct electricity
