Why is it when your temperature gauge does not move you do not get heat when your gauge moves you get heat in your Ford Taurus?

The gauge does not cause the heat; it only shows what it is.


What is the name for thermal energy that is transfered only from a higher temperature to a lower temperature?

The name for the thermal energy transferred only from a higher temperature to a lower temperature is heat. Heat naturally flows from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature until thermal equilibrium is reached.

Why does temp gage and heat only work on idle?

If the temperature gauge and heat only work while the engine is idling, it may indicate a problem with the cooling system, such as a malfunctioning thermostat that is stuck open, preventing the engine from reaching optimal operating temperature. Additionally, low coolant levels or a failing water pump could impede proper circulation, affecting heat output. When idling, the engine runs at a lower RPM, which can sometimes allow for temporary heat buildup, but once the vehicle is in motion, the cooling system may not function effectively, leading to a drop in heat and gauge readings.


Will heat be conducted along the length of a metal rod when the whole rod has a uniform temperature?

No. Heat is conducted from a region of high temperature to that of lower temperature. If the whole rod is at the same temperature then there is no temperature gradient and so no heat will be conducted.


How would it be possible that there could be high temperature but no heat transfer?

High temperature doesn't necessarily indicate heat transfer if the surrounding environment is at a similar or lower temperature. Heat transfer occurs when there is a temperature difference between objects, causing energy to move from a higher temperature object to a lower temperature one. If the surroundings are not significantly cooler, there may be high temperature but minimal heat transfer.


Is energy only transferred by heating if there is no temperature difference?

No, energy can still be transferred by heating even when there is a temperature difference. Heat will flow from the object or system with higher temperature to the one with lower temperature until thermal equilibrium is reached. The temperature difference determines the direction and rate of heat transfer.

Where is heat gauge Fuse for a 2000 Camry?

If only the temperature gauge does not work, then a fuse is not the problem. Be sure that the radiator is full. If not you will need to fill it as the temperature sender needs water around it in order to have something to sense. If it is full then take it to a repair shop and have them check it out.
