Where do heat sink go?

Heat sinks increase the rate of heat loss from the source into the environment, i.e. usually air. The heat goes to the same place as it would without the heat sink, it just does it quicker. Some heat sinks may be enclosed in a liquid, which is used to transport the heat elsewhere where it cools down and then returns.

How are diamonds produced from coal to diamond?

Natural diamonds are produced very deep in the Earth, under great pressure and heat, and some are brought to the surface of the Earth. The carbon source is graphite rather than coal. They also take a long time to grow.Synthetic diamonds are grown in the 'lab' and thin films of diamond produced this way are used in the semiconductor industry as heat sinks under chips. For diamond has the highest thermal conductivity.For more information, see wikipedia.org under diamond, or carbon, or gemstones.

What are the functions of the heat?

The main purpose of a heat sink is to expel heat from a generating source. Heat sinks work through the process of conductive and convection heat transfer. Heat sinks are a passive form of cooling, as they have no moving parts and require no power.
