A radiator is a conductor because it is made of metal, which is a material that allows heat to flow through it easily. When hot water or steam passes through the radiator, the metal quickly heats up and transfers that heat to the surrounding air, helping to warm up a room.

Cool radiator. This is the type of radiator that decreases the efficiency of the fuel and thus the conductor becomes angry and so does the hot brunette.


Is ice a poor radiator of heat?

Yes, ice is an extremely poor radiator/conductor of heat. It is also the reason why the marine life in antartica is not frozen.


Why is copper in cars?

Copper is used in the alternator and wiring because it is a good conductor of electricity. Copper is used in the radiator because it is a good conductor of heat. Copper alloys are used in some bearings because of the wear characteristics (not too hard, not too soft).

Explain how a radiator quickly warms all the air in a room even though air is a poor thermal conductor?

A radiator heats the air around it through convection, where hot air rises and cold air sinks. As the air around the radiator warms up, it expands and becomes less dense, causing it to rise and circulate throughout the room. This creates a convection current that quickly distributes the warm air, despite air being a poor thermal conductor.


How does a radiator heat up a room when the door is shut?

A radiator heats up the air around it through convection. This heated air rises and circulates around the room, warming it up. Even with the door shut, the heated air will continue to spread throughout the room, increasing the overall temperature.


How do you change external temperature sensor on a 1999 Pontiac Montana?

The air temp sensor that is displayed on the overhead consloe is located under the hood, in front of the radiator, on the left side looking at the engine. It is about 6 inches down with a two conductor wire leading to it. It attaches to the radiator support bracket.


Why would a radiator transfer heat quicker to a metal spoon in contact than to the air surrounding?

The metal spoon has a higher thermal conductivity than air, which allows heat to transfer faster from the radiator to the spoon. Air is a poor conductor of heat compared to metal, so the heat transfer is more efficient when the radiator is in direct contact with the metal spoon.

Which of the elements is an effective conductor of heat and electricity?

Aluminum is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity. It is also light weight, non-sparking, ductile and most abundant metal in the earth's crust. Take a look at any kind of radiator and you will notice that it is made out of aluminum. Aluminum is also used in high voltage installations.
