Radiator have metal fins which increases total surface area of the metal body which cooling effect and hence increase the efficiency to maximum cooling effect.

Why does the number of cooling fins affect the rate of energy transfer from the radiator?
Because the more coolant passed through the fins, the more energy can be emitted.
What is the purpose of the fins on the condenser?
cooling
What colour are the cooling fins of a refrigerator?
black
Does water flow through the fins in a car radiator?
no
Why are the cooling fins of the refrigerator painted black?
Black is a good emitter of infra-red radiation than white or any other light colours, so it will allow the temperature of the cooling fins to fall quickly.
Does the cooling fins on a car engine?
On cars that have them they are air cooled since there is no radiator.
Why does the number of cooling fins affect the rate of energy transfer from the radiator?
Because the more coolant passed through the fins, the more energy can be emitted.
Will dust cause the radiator to over heat?
yes if the dust has stuck to radiator,and blocked the cooling fins, it will sure enuff cause over heating. with engine off, you can usually wash dust and other debri out of radiator fins from the engine side, using a hose.do not use a pressure washer as this will damage the fins
What does the radiator in a car do?
As coolant cycles through the engine, it absorbs heat from the engine, after which, it continues through the cooling system back to the radiator. As the coolant passes through the radiator, the heat is exchanged to the ambient air by way of airflow through the radiator fins (this is why it's important not to bend the radiator fins).
What are those fins that stick out on the back sides of a diesel locomotive?
those fins are equivalent to the radiator grill on a car they allow air to be blown out by fans to assist in cooling the engines
Will it still work when my radiator fins for CPU cooler are damaged?
That will depend on the degree of the damage to the fins. If some of the fins are slightly bent there should be no problem at all. On the other hand if several of the fins are broken off the cooling will probably not be adequate, Is the microprocessor's internal temperature sensor reporting an unusually high temperature (this is the easiest way to tell if cooling is working right or not)?
Why does your 1997 Honda CRV overheat when you use the air conditioning in stop and go traffic?
Not enough coolant in the cooling system - Improper ratio of coolant to water in the system - Improper or failing radiator pressure cap - Cooling system water pump may be failing - Radiator fins may be dirty or blocked. - radiator cooling fans are not operating correctly - cooling system is dirty and may need flushing.
Why does power steering fluid mix in radiator?
Power steering fluid, because of the friction, requires cooling. Sometimes this is done by putting cooling fins on part of the pipe that the fluid runs thru. Other times there is a small loop with cooling fins like a mini radiator next to the power steering pump. And finally the design may actually bring the power steering fluid through a loop that is actually inside the radiator to allow the coolant to cool it. The coolant and power steering fluid never mix, just exchange heat. More typically, it is actually the automatic transmission fluid lines that run to the radiator for cooling.
Where's the radiator cap located on a 89 Honda CRX?
the radiator cap is located on the radiator which is the the thin rectangular block with lots of cooling fins. when you open the bonnet itsnearest thing to the bonnet release. Its possible that your car did not come with a radiator cap since it was an optional item.
How is heat removed from the petrol engine?
Circulating cooling water takes heat to the radiator (which cools by air passing through it rather than by radiation). On a simple motor bike, it is by air passing over cooling "fins".
What is the purpose of the fins on the condenser?
cooling
What to do if car is still heating up after replacing water pump in vehicle?
Have a mechanic check for any cooling system blockages, bent radiator fins, or faulty fan.
