Why does your car not over heat even though there is no water in the radiator?

I tell u exactly why that is try this yourself take boiling water on your stove. Get it to boiling temp and hold a thermometer above the steam and take a reading notice it is much lower and then drop the thermometer into the boiling water, much higher rite???? Big difference in measuring steam temperature and direct hot water.... Just like your coolant temprature sensor it has to be submerged in coolant to get true reading ..when in fact you are over heating basically cooking your engine its just that your sensor is just not able to detect that you are cause it is reading steam temprature which in no way good for any car to be that hot especially if it is alunimum eninge it can cause major damage. and that is the best answer to your question. Thank you n have a nice day

What is radiator in case of heat engine?
Radiator is a device to cool the heat engin using water as a coolent
What does latent heat causes?
Latent heat has the ability to do something in a given time period. Take a water heated radiator, latent heat has the ability to make the radiator warm or hot according to the temprature of the water. It will continue to do this until the water stops flowing through the radiator and the radiator begins to cool.
Can a radiator leak and i have no heat?
With no water no heat can be transferred through the heater coils.
Why do you have black water in your car radiator?
to absorb heat
Does a radiator make heat like a heater?
no, its a common misconception, it may be called a radiator but it doesn't radiate heat, it convects heat, from the hot water that is piped around it
What has numerous water and air passages to dissipate heat?
A Radiator.
What is the different between water jacket and radiator?
Water jackets are the hollowed out spaces in the engine block and head through which the coolant flows. In water jackets, waste heat generated by the engine is picked up by the coolant. After flowing through the water jackets, water flows through the radiator. The radiator is basically a heat exchanger which, through a system of tubes and fins, transfers this waste heat from the coolant to the atmosphere. After the water is cooled in the radiator, it flows back into the water jackets of the engine to pick up more waste heat.
How does heat get from inside the boiler to the wall behind the radiator?
Conduction of heat energy from the source to the water in the boiler. A pump moves the hot water to the radiator.The heat radiates out from the radiator to the air, where convection then circulates it through the room.
What is a better absorber and radiator of heat energy soil or water?
Water absorbs and radiates heat better than soil does.
How does the heat energy get from the hot water to the outside of the radiator?
The hot water is in contact with the metal casing of the radiator, so that metal radiator takes some heat from the water. The heat then passes from the inside metal of radiator to the outside metal of the radiator through convection. The outside metal of the radiator then passes it to the air that is blowing by it outside.
What does a car heat up quickly?
Check your water level in your radiator.
How does a hot water radiator heat a room?
The hot water heats the metal of the radiator, which heats the surrounding air. The warm air circles round the room.
