What else can I help you with?
What causes poor radiator circulation and poor heat in a 1998 Jimmy?
Maybe your cooling/heat system is all plugged up with radiator deposits. You could try flushing the radiator and see if it helps.
Is ice a poor conductor of heat?
Yes. Ice conducts heat poorly, snow even more so - snow is a great insulator. one of the best! Ice has a high specific heat too (it takes a lot of energy to raise the temperature of ice).
What might be the effect of sprinkling black soot over the ice in the Arctic or the Antarctic?
The ice under will melt because black is a good absorber and a poor radiator.
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.
Can you put ice in your radiator?
You can put ice in your radiator. Keep in mind that the ice is just water and you should have SAE certified anti-freeze in your radiator
How does a radiator prevent heat?
A radiator gives off heat not prevents it.
How can ice be an insulator?
Ice is a poor conductor of heat because of its low thermal conductivity. When ice is present, it can act as an insulating barrier between two different temperatures, preventing the transfer of heat. This insulating property of ice is why it is commonly used in coolers and ice packs to keep items cold.
What type of radiator can provide heat and air conditioning?
a radiator that provides heat and cooling
Does ice melt faster on metal or plastic?
Ice melts faster on metal because metal is a good conductor of heat, allowing heat energy to transfer quickly to the ice. Plastic is a poor conductor of heat, so it retains heat better and slows down the melting process of ice.
What does the radiator in a car do?
As coolant cycles through the engine, it absorbs heat from the engine, after which, it continues through the cooling system back to the radiator. As the coolant passes through the radiator, the heat is exchanged to the ambient air by way of airflow through the radiator fins (this is why it's important not to bend the radiator fins).
How do ice blocks retain heat inside the igloo?
Ice blocks in an igloo retain heat through their unique structure and properties. The ice itself is a poor conductor of heat, which minimizes heat loss from the interior. Additionally, the air trapped in the ice's crystalline structure acts as an insulator, further slowing down heat transfer. As a result, even though the exterior may be cold, the interior of the igloo can remain relatively warm due to body heat and the insulation provided by the ice blocks.
Why do ice in styrofoam melt longer?
Styrofoam is a poor conductor of heat, which means it slows down the transfer of heat from the surroundings to the ice inside. This insulation effect helps to keep the ice cold for a longer period of time compared to other materials that conduct heat more efficiently.
