Warming your hands in front of a campfire is what type of heat transfer?
Heat Energy
Why does putting foil behind radiotors reduce heat transfer?
The foil reflects the heat back to the radiator thus reducing convection off of the radiator.
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 type of heat transfer is ice on a hand?
Conduction.
A piece of ice melts in one hand because heat moves from the hand into the ice. This is an example of heat transfer by?
conduction
What is a radiator used for?
To transfer heat.
Warming your hands in front of a campfire is what type of heat transfer?
Heat Energy
What is the radiator's job is?
the radiator's job is to transfer heat to air that passes through the radiator. pasta master (novanet)
When you dip your hand in cold water you feel it cold. Can you name the mode of heat transfer and its direction?
This type of heat transfer is called conduction. The transfer is from the warm hand to cool water.
What property is required of a car radiator?
The ability to transfer heat energy.
Why does putting foil behind radiotors reduce heat transfer?
The foil reflects the heat back to the radiator thus reducing convection off of the radiator.
Is a radiator a insulator?
The purpose of a radiator is to transfer heat as quickly as possible. It is pretty much the opposite of an insulator.
What is the purpose of fins in the radiator core?
To speed up the transfer of heat energy.
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.
How is heat transferred through a radiator?
Convection, which is the transfer of heat by thermal currents in the air (or other medium)
What type of heat transfer is ice on a hand?
Conduction.
Liquid to air heat transfer device in car?
That would be the radiator and heater core.
