Generally the pump moves the coolant through the block, up into the back of the head(s), through the head(s), out the thermostat into the top of the radiator, through the radiator, out the bottom or side of the radiator and back to the pump.

What is the purpose of the car radiator?
The engine of a car contains many passages through which water can flow. The water picks up excess heat from the car engine and then passes through the radiator, where it is cooled by the rapid flow of air. The cooled water then returns to the engine to pick up more excess heat. So to put it simply: the radiator cools the water which cools the engine.
How does hot water flow in a radiator?
The water pump circulates it through and it either goes across or down then back into engine.
Why is there no water flow in a radiator when cap is off?
The water does not flow through the radiator until the engine is at operating temperature. At that time the thermostat will open and allow it to flow.Sometimes you are unable to see it, depending on the direction of flow. Increase the engine rpm and you should notice a change.
What is through flow in the water cycle?
through flow is when infiltrated water moves through soil to the sea.
What is heavier an air cooled car engine or a water cooled car engine?
The water cooled engine will typically be heavier, because you have to add in the water pump, the radiator and the water/coolant. The engine block itself may be lighter as there are passages drilled out for the water/coolant to flow through.
What is the difference between throughflow and groundwater flow?
Through flow is the horizontal movement of water through the soil zone. Groundwater flow is the movement of water through the bedrock, which is typically an aquifer
Coolant flows from the engine block into the through the coolant jacket?
Kind of. There are water jackets inside the engine block and usually the heads of a liquid-cooled engine Water (or coolant) will either flow from the block to the head to the radiator, or from the radiator through the head to the block (a reverse flow design). The latter is better because it cools the heads first and helps prevent detonation. It also reduces thermal shock to the engine block.
Does coolant flow through reservoir?
No. The reservoir holds the coolant that flows back into when the engine coolant expands and will flow from the reservoir to the engine when the water cools. but there is no actual through current of liquid. Yes indeed it does on a lot of European vehicles. This occurs mainly in automatic coolant bleed vehicles.
Why is water coming from where you put the antifreeze in instead of flowing through?
A STUCK THERMOSTAT WILL DO THAT ESPECIALLY WHEN THE ENGINE STARTS 2 GET WARM-THEN ALOT OF WATER WILL BOIL OUT--------IF THE THERMO IS GOOD -U WILL C WATER MOVEMENT(FLOW) AFTER THE ENGINE WARMS UP.
What regulates the flow of water through a cell membranes?
concentration of water A concentration of solutes regulates the flow of water through a cell membrane.
What layer of rock that ground water cannot flow through?
Bed rock is the layer of rock through which ground water cannot flow.
The flow of water through the earth and the atmosphere?
Water cycle??
