electric component
It keeps your processor from melting. Do not run a PC without a heat sink on your processor. Processors can get to extremley high temperatures. The heat sink absorbs this heat and removes it using a fan.
Heat sinks are very important components in computers. The purpose of heat sinks in computers is to keep the computer from overheating. The heat sink removes heat from the processor, keeping the processor cool.
To sink the heat.
Probably because it draws/absorbs the heat making the heat "sink" into it
A heat sink works on the principle of thermal transfer. The heat sink transfers heat from the chip to the air, wicking heat away.
Yes! Water is a heat sink.
Probably because it draws/absorbs the heat making the heat "sink" into it
If a body of water has a high heat capacity, it can store more thermal energy making it a good heat sink.
Your skin.
Heat sink
heat sink is when heat is absorbed into any type of environment, including the aquatic ecosystem; and carbon sink is when CO2 is absorbed into any type of environment including the terrestrial ecosystem.
