RE: [Chrysler300] Short lesson in thermodam

["Bob Jasinski" <rpjasin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK, I get it.  But what is happening to the coolant that is retained in the
block waiting to go through the radiator?  It's temperature is going up
because it is held by the heat source longer.  The longer it's in the block
the hotter it gets, so where is the benefit in slowing down the flow?   If
it's just about TIME, that works both ways as I see it.  Besides, when an
engine is hot, the thermostat is fully open anyway.  Any thermodynamics
experts out there?  I've heard this point being debated for years and have
never had a good answer to fully explain what is happening.  It seems to me
to be all about surface area responsible for cooling not the speed of the
flow.

Hi List .You cannot move Cold ,You can move Heat (ether in or out of
something) But it takes TIME .You haft to hold watter in the radiator long
enough for the heat to transfer to the core and be removed by air flow.That
is the the purpose of the thermostat .If the watter flows to fast it will
not have TIME to transfer heat Jim McMullsn 300 F.
