Why car radiator is design with thin fins and black in colour?

Car radiators have fins to allow the flow of air to enter, but as well as having a bit of protection. If it didn't, you would have a car with a hole in the front.
Also, they are black to absorb and radiate heat. Black bodies radiate heat better so that is why they are black. The thin fins improve the overall surface area so that heat is dissipitated to the ambient efficiently. Hope this helps.

Will it still work when my radiator fins for CPU cooler are damaged?
That will depend on the degree of the damage to the fins. If some of the fins are slightly bent there should be no problem at all. On the other hand if several of the fins are broken off the cooling will probably not be adequate, Is the microprocessor's internal temperature sensor reporting an unusually high temperature (this is the easiest way to tell if cooling is working right or not)?
Why do you use fins and cone for a bottle rocket?
You use fins and a nose cone on a bottle rocket because the cone reduces the drag on the rocket, and the fins help stabilize the rocket.
Are long or short and stiff or flexible fins most efficient when swimming while pulling a raft behind?
this is totally a personal preference. i love my very short FORCE FINS but others love their very long freeDiving fins. many factors influence a person fin preference because of individuals swimming preference, FORCE FINS use more of the calf muscle similar to short bicycle strokes, whereas a paif of long freeDiving fins use more of the whole leg. if you ask me; FORCE FINS if you ask my dive buddy: Apollo Bio-fins somebody else; a completely different answer in general though, universally; the SCUBAPRO JET FINS is the most powerful fin
What material are cooling fins?
Aluminum or copper.
What is the use of fins in tri gate transistors?
cooling
What colour are the cooling fins of a refrigerator?
black
Does water flow through the fins in a car radiator?
no
What is in Cooling Fins on A Radiator?
Radiator have metal fins which increases total surface area of the metal body which cooling effect and hence increase the efficiency to maximum cooling effect.
Will dust cause the radiator to over heat?
yes if the dust has stuck to radiator,and blocked the cooling fins, it will sure enuff cause over heating. with engine off, you can usually wash dust and other debri out of radiator fins from the engine side, using a hose.do not use a pressure washer as this will damage the fins
What is a automobile radiator made from?
The core is typically copper with aluminum fins
What is the purpose of fins in the radiator core?
To speed up the transfer of heat energy.
Does the cooling fins on a car engine?
On cars that have them they are air cooled since there is no radiator.
Why does the number of cooling fins affect the rate of energy transfer from the radiator?
Because the more coolant passed through the fins, the more energy can be emitted.
How do you clean exterior fins of car's radiator?
First of all use an airline blowing from the rear through to the front of the radiator,then using a brush ie paintbrush ,on the front fins to gently clear any loosend debris but not forcing them further into the radiator. Repeat as nessesary ,you may have to use some degreaser or mild diluted washing up liquid to clear dried on residue. But be careful to not damage the fins of the radiator as they are more delicate than you realise.
What is the purpose of the radiator in your car?
Exchanges heat from the coolant to the air which flows through the fins.
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).
What is a fin straightener?
It is a tool used to straighten the fins of an automotive radiator. Normally used after something has damaged part of the radiator without causing a leak.
