Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the car is in motion, the air flows over the radiator, which causes the transfer of heat between the radiator and the atmosphere through the process of convection. The convective heat transfer occurs due to the movement of fluids, such as air or water. Therefore, option A) is the best choice.
