For a stock Automobile, the cost of very high tempurature can be as high as 25% of the rated horse power.
For High Stress racing engine High Tempuratures that are not allowed for in tuning can cause engine failure.
Losses on a very hot day as much as 30% loss in power.

Where is the outside temperature sensor located on a 2000 Mercury Villager?
In the engine compartment
Is the ambient temperature in a 1300 petrol engine high or low?
The ambient temperature in this case refers to the temperature outside the engine. This is relevant for calculations related to heat engine. The ambient temperature will of course vary, but it is usually somewhere around 300 K.
What is a P0073 engine code on a Chrysler Town and Country?
ambient air temperature sensor - tells you the outside temperature
Purpose of aircraft temperature gauge?
The average aircraft will have temperature gauges for the following: Outside air temperature, Engine air inlet temperature, Engine exhaust temperature, cabin temperature, and that's just on a small aircraft. So which temperature gauge do you mean?
What effect if any does this energy transfer have on the overall efficiency of the car engine?
As a "heat engine", a car engine must rid itself of heat to continue. Efficiency of the heat engine depends on the difference in temperature; therefore, as the temperature outside reaches the temperature inside, the engine stops.
What is the part that threads into my thermostat with a connector on outside on a 1993 ford escort gt?
Engine temperature sensor...
What temperature should your 1985 corvette run at?
the cooling fan comes on at 230 and normal engine temperature is usually around 218 depending on the outside temp.
What is cold advance start?
If I understand your question properly I think you're referring to the engine timing. (when the spark plugs fire in relation to the rotation of the engine) When the temperature sensors on the car sense the engine is cold it will advance the timing of the engine to keep it from stalling out.
What is outside air temperature in an aircraft?
There are two types of air temperature measurements on aircraft, Ram Air Temperature and Static Air Temperature. (slower aircraft don't normally have RAT gages) Ram Air Temperature, sometimes known as Total Air Temperature, is the air temperature outside the aircraft increased by the heat resulting from the compressibility of the air. The faster the aircraft, the more the rise in the temperature. Static Air Temperature, also known as Outside Air Temperature, is a temperature reading corrected for the compressibility rise to give a true outside air temperature which is used in all sorts of calculations relating to engine performance, aircraft speed, etc.
Does cold weather make check engine light go on?
NO it does not. The check engine light comes on when the ECU detects a problem with the emissions system and has nothing whatsoever to do with the outside temperature.
How does a temperature sensor on a car know the temperature without being affected by wind temperature whilst driving?
I am assuming you are referring to the outside temperature sensor. This sensor IS affected by wind, but not in the way you think. You may be able to answer your own question by understanding what "windchill" actually is. When it is cold outside and there is wind, the air moving by your skin actually makes it approach the actual outside temperature faster. The air is not colder, but it feels colder since the wind is cooling you down faster just as a lower temperature would cool your skin faster. So in the same manner, wind does affect a temperature sensor, but only if it is a temperature different than the outside air, like right after you pull out of a garage. Once the sensor reaches the actual outside temperature, no amount of wind blowing on it will make it read any colder. And temperature sensors are usually placed in the wind. I sure hope there is wind that reaches underneath your bumper since your radiator is depending on it. most temperature sensors on vehicles are located underneath near the front bumber bar they are not in the wind in that position engine temp sensor or outside temp sender? engine temp sender is in engine. outside temp is measured behind the bumper bar and not affected by wind answer ENGINE temperature sensor doesn't care about anything but actual temp of engine [in order to send message to computer so computer can then adjust fuel and air mixture for effecient operating of engine]. OUTSIDE temperature sensor doesn't care about anything but actual temperature outside of vehicle, [not effected by heat generated by vehicle] and doesn't measure windchill factor. However, I think you just came up with a great idea for manufacturers selling to us Canadians. We'd probably pay for sensor in open wind so could tell how cold or hot windchill factor is while driving [or stopped, for that matter]. edutainer
Explain whether or not a heat engine could be made 100 percent efficient by eliminating friction?
Even if the friction were totally eliminated, a heat engine still could not convert heat completely into work and be 100 percent efficient. Instead, the efficiency of an internal combustion engine depends on the difference in the temperature of the burning gases in the cylinder and the temperature of the burning gases in the cylinder and the temperature of the air outside the engine.
