What else can I help you with?
What property is required of a car radiator?
The ability to transfer heat energy.
Liquid to air heat transfer device in car?
That would be the radiator and heater core.
How does the pully driven fan cool your car?
The fan directs air flow through the radiator so heat energy can transfer from the coolant in the radiator into the atmosphere.
What is the job of a radiator?
To transfer heat from one place to another. In a car it moves engine heat to the outside air. In a house heating system it moves heat into the living space.
Why is a car radiator made of aluminum?
The purpose of a radiator is to transfer heat from the engine to the atmosphere, so radiators need to be made of a material with a high heat transfer coefficient. Aluminum has a high heat transfer coefficient. In other words, aluminum conducts heat very well. There are other materials, such as copper, which conduct even better, but aluminum is more economical to use than copper.
When does Heat transfer occurs in liquid and gasses?
Heat transfer occurs whenever two or more objects of different temperatures are in contact with each other. Spilling hot water on yourself causes heat transfer from the water to you. When you drive your car the hot engine and radiator transfer heat to the surrounding air in order to cool the engine.
What does a car heat shield do?
It shields the rest of the car from the heat of the exhaust or radiator .
How is heat transferred through a radiator?
Heat is transferred through a radiator primarily by convection. As hot water or steam flows through the radiator, it warms the metal fins of the radiator. The warm metal then heats the surrounding air, which rises and creates a convection current, transferring heat into the room.
Does a radiator use electrical heat?
It depends what radiator you'd like to know about. If the one in a car the answer is yes. Other types of radiators use convection and radiation types of energy. I hope I helped. :) :) :) :) :)
What are the mechanisms of heat transfer which are necessary to consider while designing the car radiators?
There are three methods of heat transfer, conduction, convection and radiation. Of these, the two which are important are conduction and convection. Convection is the heat transfer method as cooler air passes between the fins of the radiator, and conduction is the transference of heat from the hot coolant to the metal fins.
What removes waste heat?
car radiator
Why car radiators are black?
Objects that are black in color are the most efficient emitters/absorbers of electromagnetic radiation. Heat is infrared (IR) electromagnetic radiation. If the black object is hotter than its surroundings (which a car radiator usually is) it acts as an emitter, if the black object is cooler than its surroundings it acts as an absorber. Thus a hot car radiator that is black will emit IR heat radiation more efficiently than ti would if it was any other color. Thus it will help keep the engine from overheating better than a radiator of any other color.
