What is the use of fins in tri gate transistors?

cooling


Will it still work when my radiator fins for CPU cooler are damaged?

That will depend on the degree of the damage to the fins. If some of the fins are slightly bent there should be no problem at all. On the other hand if several of the fins are broken off the cooling will probably not be adequate, Is the microprocessor's internal temperature sensor reporting an unusually high temperature (this is the easiest way to tell if cooling is working right or not)?


What happens if you dont vacuum out an air conditioner?

The principle of an air conditioner is evaporation of a liquid, that results in cooling, the same way sweat evaporating off your skin causes cooling. The difference is after the liquid evaporates it is returned back into a liquid state by compression. The fins that surround the tubes that this gas/liquid travels around in, are there to transmit the cooling into the air by increasing the surface area. If you don't vacuum these fins the cooling effect of the evaporation does not reach the air, so the a.c. has to run longer to cool the room and you. If you clean them it will significantly reduce your energy costs, so do it.


Why are large plates used for transistorS diodes In power electronics?

those are cooling fins to transfer the heat of operation to the air, preventing overheating damage to the device. in very high power applications that might not be enough and a liquid cooling system might be used instead.

What is in Cooling Fins on A Radiator?

Radiator have metal fins which increases total surface area of the metal body which cooling effect and hence increase the efficiency to maximum cooling effect.

What does a cooling fin do on a motorbike?

cooling fins are used to cool down the engine by having the cool air pass through the fins which gets transferred down to the engine, so on a motorbike like all other engine's the cooling fins cool down the engine.

How does an air cooled system work?

An air cooled system uses cooling fins, in which air is either blown past these fins by a flywheel or a cooling fan, this air that is blown into these fins carries residual heat away from the cylinder jug.


What effect will bent cooling fins on the condenser have on the refrigerant system?

Efficiency drops dramatically depending on how badly bent the fins are.


Why are the cooling fins of the refrigerator painted black?

Black is a good emitter of infra-red radiation than white or any other light colours, so it will allow the temperature of the cooling fins to fall quickly.


Does the cooling fins on a car engine?

On cars that have them they are air cooled since there is no radiator.

Why does the number of cooling fins affect the rate of energy transfer from the radiator?

Because the more coolant passed through the fins, the more energy can be emitted.
