What does the radiator in a car do?
As coolant cycles through the engine, it absorbs heat from the engine, after which, it continues through the cooling system back to the radiator. As the coolant passes through the radiator, the heat is exchanged to the ambient air by way of airflow through the radiator fins (this is why it's important not to bend the radiator fins).
Why a car needs a radiator to operate effectively?
The process of the engine creates huge amounts of heat. Water is past through the engine block (that is where the cylinders are ) where it collects heat from the case body of the engine block and its taken to the radiator where air is passed through the radiator cooling the water. The cycle continues. If the water did not circulate then the engine would expand considerably, the cylinders will also then expand as would the moving parts to the point where the friction would cause the engine to cease up.
Why is water put in a radiator?
Water is put in a radiator because it is used to transfer heat from the engine to the outside environment through the process of convection. The water absorbs heat from the engine and then circulates through the radiator to release it, helping to cool the engine and prevent it from overheating.
What is the purpose of a radiator fan?
A radiator fan is used to help cool the engine by blowing air across the radiator, which dissipates the heat generated by the engine. This prevents the engine from overheating during operation.
How does a radiator work?
AnswerRadiators work by radiating heat into the air and cooling the engine. Coolant flows through the engine block and then to the radiator. The cooling fan helps keep the radiator cool allowing the heat to be put out into the air. This is correct
Why radiator called radiator?
A radiator is named for its function of radiating heat. It works by transferring thermal energy from hot coolant in a vehicle's engine to the surrounding air, effectively "radiating" heat to cool down the engine.
What is the purpose of a thermostat in an engine?
to keep engine warm faster n regulate heat to radiator
What does engine coolant do?
Transferrs heat from the engine to the radiator the to the air it also transferrs heat to the heater core for warm air inside the vehicle
What does the cooling system do within an engine?
It cycles coolant through the engine. Heat from the engine is transferred to the coolant through a heat exchange. The heated coolant then cycles through the system to the radiator, where heat from the coolant undergoes another heat exchange, transferring heat from the coolant to the air which passes through the radiator. Heat will also transfer from the motor to the air forced over the motor by the engine fan.

How do you use heat engine in a sentence?
Friction caused by the movement of cams, cranks and pistons create heat in an engine. The heat from the engine is used to warm radiator water which then is used in the car's heater.
What does a radiator do?
In your car, the radiator transfers its heat to the surroundings - the air. [Strictly, this is conduction, but don't quibble. This is mechanic talk.] In your room, the radiator does radiate heat into the room.
