An automotive engine has reached its normal operating temperature. In what sequential order does coolant circulate through the closed cooling system to absorb and dissipate engine heat?
- 1The water pump pressurizes and forces coolant into the engine block water jackets.
- 2Coolant absorbs heat as it rises from the block into passages surrounding the cylinder head and combustion chambers.
- 3Heated coolant flows past the open thermostat and travels through the upper radiator hose.
- 4Coolant passes through the radiator core tubes while airflow across the cooling fins removes heat.
- 5Cooled fluid exits the bottom of the radiator via the lower hose and returns to the water pump suction inlet.
Cevap
Water pump forces coolant into engine block -> Coolant rises to cylinder head -> Flows past open thermostat into upper radiator hose -> Passes through radiator core to dissipate heat -> Returns through lower radiator hose to water pump inlet.
In a liquid cooling system at operating temperature, the water pump pushes coolant into the engine block jackets, where it absorbs heat and rises into the cylinder head. Hot coolant exits past the open thermostat into the upper radiator hose, travels through the radiator core where fins transfer heat to passing air, and returns via the lower radiator hose to the water pump suction inlet.
