What is the front cover of a car called?
1 Answers
Engine hood is the front cover of a car. The engine hood can isolate the heat generated during engine operation, effectively protecting the paint surface on the hood and preventing aging. The functions of a car engine hood: Airflow guidance: For objects moving at high speed in the air, the air resistance and turbulence generated by the airflow around the moving object directly affect its trajectory and speed. The shape of the engine hood can effectively adjust the direction of airflow relative to the car's movement and the resistance it generates, reducing the impact of airflow on the car. Protection of the engine and surrounding pipeline components: Under the engine hood are important components of the car, including the engine, electrical circuits, oil circuits, braking system, and transmission system. Assisting driving vision: During driving, the driver's front view and the reflection of natural light are crucial for correctly judging road conditions and the situation ahead. The shape of the engine hood can effectively adjust the direction and form of reflected light, thereby reducing the impact of light on the driver. Preventing accidents: The engine operates in a high-temperature, high-pressure, and flammable environment, where accidents such as explosions, combustion, or leaks may occur due to overheating or accidental damage to components. The engine hood can effectively block injuries caused by explosions, acting as a protective shield.
