Heating up an exhaust system and then quickly adding cold water can cause the metal to contract rapidly, potentially leading to cracks or damage. It may also create a loud noise in the moment, but it's not a safe or recommended way to make an exhaust system louder. Instead, consider installing a performance exhaust system designed for better sound.

What causes soot and water drips from exhaust?

That is called condensation. When you start the engine the exhaust system/pipes are cold. When the heat from the engine exhaust passes through the exhaust it makes it sweat. That is normal.


You just drove through water and now your car is making a rattling noise like there is a loose bolt?

It is a heat shield on your exhaust pipe or muffler. The hot pipe when splashed by cold water cause the metal to expand and contract so quickly the weld cracked off and the heat shield now rattles It is a heat shield on your exhaust pipe or muffler.

Why is water coming from exhaust on a 1991 Chevrolet Suburban?

That is condensation due to the exhaust system being cold and the heat from the engine makes the exhaust system / pipes sweat. As the exhaust system heats up then that will stop. Now you said WATER not antifreeze. If you had engine coolant running out of the exhaust then it would be the color of the antifreeze and it would be steaming WHITE and then you would have an engine problem, MAYJOR. You said water. Drive it you have no problems. That is normal.


Why would water be leaking from the tailpipe of a 2005 Chevy Silver ado?

If its water and not antifreeze, Then that is called condensation, Its winter time and the exhaust system is cold and when heat flows through it, it starts to sweat.


What is transferred when you dip your finger into cold water?

When you dip your finger into cold water, heat is transferred from your finger to the water. This transfer of heat causes your finger to feel cold.


What type of heat transfer occurs when hot water flows through cold water?

Convection is the type of heat transfer that occurs when hot water flows through cold water. As the hot water moves through the cold water, it transfers heat energy to the surrounding cold water, causing it to warm up. This results in a transfer of heat through the movement of the fluids.


Why does heat dissolve in water?

Hot water merges with the cold water, and any heat is dissipated.


Where is the water coming from when white smoke in the exhaustion?

When gasoline is burned in an engine, it turns into heat, water, and a couple of different carbon compounds. The water, being hot, is in the form of a gas. When it hits the cold exhaust pipe, it condenses back to liquid water.


What causes a Chevy 350 1977 camaro fresh rebuild that blows water out exhaust?

Is it water or antifreeze ??? It is probley condensation. If it is cold outside were your at then this is what happens. The exhaust system is cold and when you start the engine the exhaust heat flowing through the cold exhaust pipes makes the exhaust sweat. And it looks like water is running out. Engine is running lean. Needs richen up. If it is antifreeze it will be smoking real white out of the exhaust. And that would mean a head gasket is leaking coolant into the piston cylinder. That is the most common problem with a antifreeze leak causing white smoke. I have seen intake manifolds leak coolant into the cylinder head ( runner ) but it is rare that happens. I don't think you have a problem.


When you dip your hand in cold water you feel it cold. Can you name the mode of heat transfer and its direction?

This type of heat transfer is called conduction. The transfer is from the warm hand to cool water.


If you heat the water at 7 degree Celsius when you insert your finger into the water will the water be hot or cold?

cold


Does convection transfer heat?

Think of a pot of boiling water. The burner makes the heat, the heat rises, and the cold water replaces it, then the cold water gets hotter and rises. It's a cycle
