How is the thermal energy of the radiator transferred to the surrounding air

Radiant energy. The heat in the radiator does not transfer from the radiator by convection because the heat in the radiator is inside the radiator and not a part of the surrounding air. There is a casing surrounding that heat source; the air cannot get to that heat source directly.

Here's what really happens. Radiant energy from the radiator honeycomb heats the surrounding air. And the heated surrounding air then carries off that heat by convection. My point is this... thermal energy is transferred from the radiator to the surrounding air as radiant energy. Only after that energy is in the air does convection play a role in the heat transfer.

What is the magnitude of velocity for a 2000 kg car possessing 3000 kgm/s of momentum

Alex

For this case we have that by definition, the momentum is given by:

$p = mv$

Where,

m: mass
v: speed

Therefore, replacing values we have:

$3000 = (2000) v$

From here, we clear the value of the speed:

$v = \frac {3000} {2000}\\v = 1.5 \frac {m} {s}$

Answer:

The magnitude of velocity is:

$v = 1.5 \frac {m} {s}$

QUESTION: A pure jet engine propels and aircraft at 340 m/s through air at 45 kPa and -13C. The inlet diameter of this engine is 1.6 m, the compressor pressure ratio is 13, and the temperature at the turbine inlet is 557C. Determine the velocity at the exit of this engines nozzle and the thrust produced.

ANSWER: Due to the propulsion from the inlet diameter of this engine bring 1.6 m allows the compressor rations to radiate allowing thrust propultion above all velocitic rebisomes.
