What Causes the Front of a Car to Get Particularly Hot?
1 Answers
The reason the car's hood gets hot is: The mixture of gasoline and air combusted in the cylinders rapidly burns and expands to drive the piston movement, generating immense heat. While driving, the wind generated by speed and the fan blow the radiator's heat into the engine compartment, and since the hood is made of metal, it heats up quickly. Additional information: 1. The engine's temperature begins to rise rapidly just a few seconds after starting because the engine needs to reach a certain temperature to perform optimally. 2. The heat from the engine's operation, including that from the radiator, is dissipated to the hood. As long as the temperature gauge on the dashboard does not indicate overheating, there is no issue.
