Russ,
I am not really qualified to answer that, but here goes. Yes, I would assume that the hot water in the engine travels into the radiator when the thermostat opens and allows it to enter. Then, the cool air is blown around the radiator tubes and directed across them by the fins. This air cools the tubes and the water inside of them. The heat that is given off is removed by the movement of air and is exhaused out of the bottom of the compartment.
I never completely understood why Newell doesn't put a fan in front of the radiator to draw the air across the fins. I'm sure they have a good reason though.
