Many engines use a Heat Sink. The most common are air cooled engines like a lawn mowers, or some motorcycles. The metal fins you see around the spark plug and the cylinder are heat sinks. A heat sink just provides additional surface area for the heat to be exchanged with the cooler temperature of the air.
What else can I help you with?
Do cylinders use a heat sink?
An internal combustion engine
Machine that transforms heat into mechanical energy?
A ficticious heat engine that works at the maximum theoretical efficiency is called a Carnot engine. Real engines, that obviously work at a lesser efficiency, include the combustion engines found in cars.A ficticious heat engine that works at the maximum theoretical efficiency is called a Carnot engine.

What is a heat sink and what is it used for?
Anything that creates heat that is surplus to requirements. Examples in electronic engineering would be microchips such as CPUs. An internal combustion engine APEX :)
What is the function of a processor heat sink?
To sink the heat.
What type of engine converts Thermal energy to thermal energy?
A heat engine converts thermal energy into mechanical work. This is achieved by utilizing the temperature difference between a hot source and a cold sink to generate usable energy. Examples include steam engines and internal combustion engines.
What is a ''heat sink''?
a device attached to (or part of) some component that dissipates a lot of power that absorbs the heat from that component and disposes of it faster than the bare component could by itself. it may be colored black to increase radiation and will have fins to increase air convection current generation. heat sinks for use on very high power parts may have built in fans to increase airflow over the fins and/or may be liquid filled to assist internal heat transport from the component to the fins. note: heat sinks are not unique to computers or electronics. for example some large truck engines and piston aircraft engines use liquid sodium filled exhaust valves to sink heat from the valve head & seat up the valve stem to the main coolant system, to prevent burning the valve or seat.
How does a heat sink work in the power supply?
A heat sink works on the principle of thermal transfer. The heat sink transfers heat from the chip to the air, wicking heat away.
Is water a type of heat sink?
Yes! Water is a heat sink.
Why is it called a heat sink?
Probably because it draws/absorbs the heat making the heat "sink" into it
On a mosquito magnet pro where does the fan get its voltage?
There is a thermoelectric generator between the heat sink and combustion chamber. The generator produces power which, in turn, spins the fan(s) in the unit.
How are heat sink and carbon sink related?
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.
Why can a ship not use the internal energy of sea water to operate the engine?
The heat engine can convert internal energy of sea water if there is a sink at temperature lower than temperature of sea water. Since there is no such sink and hence a ship can not use the internal energy of sea water to operate the engine.
