Generally the pump moves the coolant through the block, up into the back of the head(s), through the head(s), out the thermostat into the top of the radiator, through the radiator, out the bottom or side of the radiator and back to the pump.
The engine of a car contains many passages through which water can flow. The water picks up excess heat from the car engine and then passes through the radiator, where it is cooled by the rapid flow of air. The cooled water then returns to the engine to pick up more excess heat. So to put it simply: the radiator cools the water which cools the engine.
The water does not flow through the radiator until the engine is at operating temperature. At that time the thermostat will open and allow it to flow.Sometimes you are unable to see it, depending on the direction of flow. Increase the engine rpm and you should notice a change.
The water cooled engine will typically be heavier, because you have to add in the water pump, the radiator and the water/coolant. The engine block itself may be lighter as there are passages drilled out for the water/coolant to flow through.
Kind of. There are water jackets inside the engine block and usually the heads of a liquid-cooled engine Water (or coolant) will either flow from the block to the head to the radiator, or from the radiator through the head to the block (a reverse flow design). The latter is better because it cools the heads first and helps prevent detonation. It also reduces thermal shock to the engine block.
Through flow is the horizontal movement of water through the soil zone. Groundwater flow is the movement of water through the bedrock, which is typically an aquifer
No. The reservoir holds the coolant that flows back into when the engine coolant expands and will flow from the reservoir to the engine when the water cools. but there is no actual through current of liquid. Yes indeed it does on a lot of European vehicles. This occurs mainly in automatic coolant bleed vehicles.
Through flow is the lateral movement of water through the soil or rock layers to reach a water body or watercourse. It plays a crucial role in the water cycle by facilitating the transfer of water from the land surface to rivers, lakes, and oceans. Through flow helps to recharge groundwater reserves and maintain the overall balance of water in the environment.
A STUCK THERMOSTAT WILL DO THAT ESPECIALLY WHEN THE ENGINE STARTS 2 GET WARM-THEN ALOT OF WATER WILL BOIL OUT--------IF THE THERMO IS GOOD -U WILL C WATER MOVEMENT(FLOW) AFTER THE ENGINE WARMS UP.
No, water cannot flow through a pump that is turned off because the pump is not actively moving the water.
An opening through which air or water can flow is a mouth. This can refer to the mouth of a river or a person or animal's mouth.
The thermostat regulates coolant flow through the radiator by opening and closing based on the engine temperature. When the engine is cold, the thermostat remains closed to allow it to warm up quickly. As the engine heats up, the thermostat opens to allow coolant to flow through the radiator and dissipate the heat.
Water pumps are belt driven pumps used to circulate engine coolant (50/50 water and antifreeze) through the engine, around the combustion chambers. Passages direct coolant near the intake and exhaust ports & spark plugs. As the engine reaches normal operating temperature, A thermostat opens and allows coolant to flow through the radiator, cooling the coolant, and then returning back to the engine. Tom
