How does the car heater work when the engine is turned off?
When the engine is turned off, the car heater can still work by using the remaining heat stored in the engine and circulating it through the car's heating system. This allows the heater to continue providing warmth inside the car even when the engine is not running.
Why does a fast car slow down if its switched off?
When a car is switched off, the engine stops running and there is no longer any power being generated to maintain the car's speed. Without the engine running, there is no energy being produced to keep the car moving, so it slows down due to the forces of friction and air resistance.
What type of energy does friction of running car tires on a road causes?
The friction of running car tires on a road primarily causes kinetic energy to be converted into heat energy. This heat energy is a result of the resistance that occurs between the tires and the road surface, ultimately leading to a loss of energy in the form of heat.
What causes the water temperature to rise when the car is turned off after running?
A certain amount of the energy carried by the cooling water, is kinetic energy, from the circulation through the cooling system. When the engine is turned off, the water stops circulating. The kinetic energy contained in the water is converted to heat, thus raising the temperature of the coolant.
Why car's engine temperature rises when running with the air-con on especially during high noon?
Short answer: The engine is working harder to keep the inside of the car cool, so it heats up.Detailed answer: The temperature of the engine rises due to the extra work. The opposite is true too. If you need to cool down the engine temperature on a hot day, open your windows and turn on the heater to maximum. This will dissipate more of the heat being produced in the engine, especially if you are stuck in slow traffic, where the radiator is not getting sufficient airflow because of the low fan speed when you are idling. If fact running the engine up above idle will help the engine temperature go down in this case.
Can you heat a car without running the compressor?
In a car the heat usually comes from engine "waste heat". You just need to be running the engine. The compressor is part of the air conditioner, which is used for cooling not heating.
Why does your heater in your car only heat when you are driving?
The heater in your car uses waste heat from the engine to heat the car. When the engine is not running there is no heat to distribute.
What are some reasons an engine wont' heat up when running?
an engine if running usually heats up, are you talking heat in car? need new thermostat
Why engine of a running car is hot?
A car engine works by burning a fuel and air mixture releasing heat into the engine making it hot. The workings of the engine also involves friction which creates additional heat.
Why Engines of running car is hot?
A car engine works by burning a fuel and air mixture releasing heat into the engine making it hot. The workings of the engine also involves friction which creates additional heat.
Why does temperature gauge go down if heat is on?
If this is about a car: the heater in a car is basically another radiator, but this one sitting inside the car. When you turn the heater on you draw heat from the engine and into the car. If you aren't running the car hard enough the temperature in the engine will drop.
Should you heat your car in winter?
no you shouldn't because the cold air that your engine sucks up can quit your engine and stop running
What damage is done by running an engine without oil?
If you run an engine without oil, the pistons will over heat, and other components in your cranckcase and parts that need oil can crack because of no oil. You'll spend big $ to get your car fixed if you run it with no oil.
Is a engine in a car the same as a heat engine?
A car engine is a heat engine, but there are various types of heat engines outside the realm of car and truck engines.
Can you ruin a car engine by running the air or heat while sitting in one place for an extended period of time?
Who told you that? No you can't ruin a car engine by running the air or heat while sitting in one place for an extended period of time. It's not good for the engine to sit for a long time running because oil builds up on the seals and such but that's about it.
How do you stop a car engine from running without touching the car?
A large enough "EMP" electro magnetic pulse would do it.
Why won't a car start without it's batteries?
The starter needs power to crank the engine to get it running. Once the engine is running however, the alternator generates enough power to keep it running. But with no reserved power (a battery) the car cannot turn over.
