usually when reading about cars im told that this next generation model has vents that allow for better cooling of the engine which leads to better performance, im wondering why cooling some machinery allows it to preform better and if this is a universal thing or if some things run better when hot
In: Engineering
The engine can only work within a certain range of temperature, because of things like metal expanding and contracting with heat. If it gets too hot, the parts won’t fit together and everything breaks. Also, the faster the engine runs, the more heat it is generating, and therefore the more cooling it requires to keep it within the right temperature range. The engine being too *cold* is also a problem, but in most circumstances that isn’t a problem since it generates its own heat.
