Is a radiator a thermal energy store?

A radiator in a central heating system works by convection mainly, that is air currents are set up which carry the heat around the room. Radiation also works to some extent, but is not the main way the heat is transferred, because the surface temperature of the radiator is limited to about 50degC for safety reasons. A hot radiator clearly stores some energy, the steel of the unit plus the hot water inside it, but if you shut off the water flow it will soon cool down. Radiators are designed for continuous heating, not storage.

Why do doors slam when the window is open?

In most cases it is a simple change in pressure within the room. Before the window was open the door had come to rest in the position it was and was secure in the pressure within the room at that time. Upon opening the window any external breeze increases the pressure in the room starting at the window and working towards the door.This increase in pressure within the room pushes the door and can result in a slam if the pressure change is significant. The common term for this change is positive pressure. plissescreen.com
