No, there should not be pressure in the radiator after cooling down. If there is still pressure, it could indicate a problem with the radiator cap or the cooling system, such as a leak or a failing pressure release valve.
You should replace the radiator cap if it is leaking coolant, not sealing properly, or showing signs of damage. A faulty radiator cap can lead to issues like overheating, coolant loss, or air entering the cooling system, which can cause damage to your engine. Regularly inspecting and replacing the radiator cap can help prevent these problems and maintain the efficiency of your cooling system.
A closed system in which the net external force is zero is in mechanical equilibrium.
This is an open system. In an open system, energy can be exchanged with the surroundings, but not matter.
If both the top and bottom radiator hoses are cold, it is likely that the thermostat is stuck closed, preventing coolant from flowing through the radiator. This can result in poor engine cooling. Additionally, air trapped in the cooling system can also cause both hoses to remain cold. Purging the air and checking the thermostat would be recommended in this situation.
The radiator should be analyzed as an open system since mass is crossing the boundaries of the system.
A "closed loop" system refers to a system that requires no outside intervention. Like the cooling system on a car or in simpler terms the radiator. The cooling system is a closed loop, the coolant is heated by the engine, pumped into the radiator where it cools off, then is cycled through the engine again.
It does not. Look up the definition. Alot of time when we build a "closed system" is not really a closed system. Close, but not all of the way there. That is why you have make-up water on mechanical closed loops and why you add water to your radiator.
Coolant is flushed from the radiator of a 1997 Honda Accord by opening the petcock and allowing the system to drain. The petcock is then closed, the system filled with water, and a flush added to the radiator to cleanse the system.
Just flushing the radiator, no but to flush the system, yes.
Disconnect a hose and fill it through the hose. Possibly the one to the water pump; that should be pretty accessible.
The heater core has no overflow hose. Cooling system is a closed loop system and the only overflow hose is the one going from the radiator cap to the reservoir. A thermostat that is stuck closed will cause the engine to overheat. Drain and flush the radiator, replace the thermostat, install a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water, bleed air from the system. You may also need to replace the radiator cap. Be sure and replace these parts with OEM parts.The heater core has no overflow hose.

its a closed system, no cap. Add fluid to the plastic container. You can convert to an open system, but that's not cheap. www.jeepmj.com
Anywhere in between. The farther open valve is the warmer radiator will get during normal operation of heat system.
The cooling system needs to be closed tight in order to work properly. If the system is not taking coolant from the reservoir there must be an leak somewhere, possibly a bad radiator cap, leaky radiator, loose hose clamp, leaky water pump, etc. Have the system pressure tested to determine where the problem is.
You have to wait for it to cool. When it heats up inside a closed system , it builds up pressure .
The system should be analyzed to find out if its process and parts can be improved.
