What would happen is when your vechile begins to run and gets warmed up your fluid will splatter all inside the hood of the vechile and your fluid will run low and it will crack your radiator.


When air and atmosphere is warmed what does air pressure do?

When air is warmed, it expands and becomes less dense, causing it to rise. As it rises, it creates lower pressure at the surface. This is because there are fewer air molecules pressing down on a given area as the warmed air moves away.


When your car is warmed up the top radiator hose gets hard because water is not flowing if you unscrew radiator cap the pressure is released where could the blockage be?

Assuming the engine is not overheating, it is normal for the hoses to get hard. The pressure in the cooling system should reach the maximum of whatever the radiator cap is set for, usually 15 to 17 lbs.


Why is there pressure in the upper radiator hose?

The pressure in the upper radiator hose is created by the water pump circulating coolant through the engine and radiator. This pressure helps to maintain proper flow of coolant to regulate engine temperature and prevent overheating. It also allows the coolant to absorb heat efficiently from the engine.

How will this temperature increase affect the po2 of the air which you calculated to be 159 mmHg?

nothing will happen it will remain the same. Since the warmed air still contains 21% O2 and the total pressure has not changed the partial pressure of all components remain the same.


Why does your ram 3500 van overheat?

Typically this is caused by either an engine thermostat that is stuck closed or a radiator that is bad and needs re-cored. With the engine running and radiator cap off and engine warmed up to normal operating temperature or above, look in the radiator for coolant movement. If you see it flowing, have the radiator repaired or replaced. It,s important to remove the cap prior to warming it up to prevent injury from hot coolant under pressure.


How do you know if you overfill your antifreeze reservoir?
