Car radiator

What does a car radiator do? A car radiator removes heat from an engine. An internal combustion engine burns a gas or diesel fuel to generate heat energy and then transforms that heat energy into mechanical energy. The average engine is only about 25-30% efficient. In other words, approximately 70-75% of the heat generated during combustion isn’t used to make power. So some of the heat is used to produce mechanical energy, some is lost out the tailpipe as exhaust and the rest is absorbed by the antifreeze coolant. Car … Read More
