| Cooling systems |
The cooling system is designed to keep the engine operating at a given temperature and prevents the engine from seizing. |
| Heat transfer |
The internal combustion engine works by changing heat energy into kinetic energy. Heat can be transferred in 3 ways - conduction, convection and radiation. |
| Vehicle coolant |
Water can absorb more heat per volume than most other liquids, but it can allow corrosion and damaging electrolysis. This is controlled by inhibitors. |
