Why is A radiator is not a good name for a heater of that name because?

"Radiator" typically refers to a specific type of heating system that uses hot water or steam to warm a room. Calling another type of heater like an electric heater a "radiator" could be misleading and confusing for users expecting a traditional radiator-style heat source.


What are some synonyms for conduction?

I suppose that it could be transfer, but not each transfer is conduction


Why is copper used in radiator cooling system?

Copper is used in radiator cooling systems because of its excellent thermal conductivity, allowing it to efficiently transfer heat away from the engine. Copper is also durable and corrosion-resistant, making it a reliable material for long-term use in a high-temperature environment like a radiator.


Should there be pressure in the radiator after cooling down?

No, there should not be pressure in the radiator after cooling down. If there is still pressure, it could indicate a problem with the radiator cap or the cooling system, such as a leak or a failing pressure release valve.


Is the heat transferred from a hot zinc roof to a person below it a good example of heat transfer by radiation Explain?

Yes - this should be a good example of heat transfer by radiation. It is unlikely you will transfer heat by natural convection since the roof is above the person and any heated air will rise to the roof rather than sink from the roof down to the person. Air is a rather poor conductor of heat so any heat transfer by conduction from the roof down to the person will be very slow. In contrast to this, the tin roof, if hot enough will be a fairly good heat radiator - enough that it could be sensed by a person below, i.e. they will feel the radiant heat transfer.

How do you change the antifreeze?

I have a 91 Ford escort that has two caps. one is on the radiator itself and one next to it that says coolant only. how do I know where the antifreeze goes? does a mixture of coolant and water go in the radiator or does only water go in radiator and coolant in the other one? I have never seen an engine with this. could you help explain it?

1999 Dodge Intrepid overheats when going uphill only in the heat of day at night its fine?

you could be low on antifreeze, could be a plugged radiator, or the radiator could be dirty. I had the same problem with my Dodge Ram and it was a plugged radiator

could be a cracked radiator, bad radiator cap, a busted radiator or heater hose, bad heater core, or a busted fill box!


What could cause smoke coming from the Radiator Fan?

If the smoke is coming from the electric fan itself, then it needs replacing. It could be the smoke is steam that the fan is drawing from the radiator, and you have a coolant leak at the radiator.


Why does my truck overheat and then when I set the heater to defrost it cools down?

Check the thermostat or the radiator. The thermostat could be sticking or the radiator could be plugged.
