Should You Turn Off the Engine When It Overheats?

[SanAxel]

When the car engine overheats, you should turn it off and open the hood to allow the engine to cool down. Reasons for car engine overheating: 1. Lack of coolant; 2. Malfunction in the engine cooling system; 3. Incorrect position of the heater baffle; 4. Failure in the cooling circulation system; 5. Blockage or pipe rupture in the catalytic converter. An engine is a machine that converts other forms of energy into mechanical energy. Based on its working principle, engines are categorized into: 1. External combustion engines: Fuel burns outside the engine; 2. Internal combustion engines: Fuel burns inside the engine; 3. Gas turbines: Utilize high-pressure gas to rotate turbine blades for power output; 4. Jet engines: Engines that directly generate thrust by expelling high-speed gas from the nozzle.
