Thermal compound is usually applied to a CPU's heat sink to allow heat from the CPU to be transferred to the heat sink more effectively. The most commonly used brand by PC enthusiasts is Arctic Silver 5, a silver-based compound that transfers heat extremely well due to it's metallic base.
What else can I help you with?
Which of the following materials normally warm up fastest when heat is applied?
Materials with lower heat capacities and higher thermal conductivities typically warm up the fastest when heat is applied. This can include metals like copper or aluminum, which have low specific heat capacities and good thermal conductivity. Conversely, materials like water or concrete have higher heat capacities and warm up more slowly.
Does iron normally warm up faster when heat is applied?
Yes, iron typically warms up faster when heat is applied due to its high thermal conductivity, allowing it to quickly transfer heat throughout its structure. This is why iron is commonly used in cooking utensils and heating devices.
Is stainless a good conductor of heat?
Not particularly good, but adequate. Stainless steel cookware is normally copper plated to help spread the heat more uniformly, otherwise the heat will be more pronounced and somewhat locally, directly over the heat source.
Which warms up faster when heat is applied iron or silver?
Silver. because silver is good conductor of heat.
Which matter is the conducter of electric but insulater of heat?
Normally, materials which are good conductors of electricity are also good conductors of heat. This is because both electrical conductivity and heat conductivity is enhanced by mobile electrons, thus making metals both good electrical conductors and good heat conductors. However, I do not know if there might be an exception...
What happens to the density of a fluid when heat is applied?
The density of a fluid goes down (becomes less dense) when heat is applied.
Is steel wool a good conductor of heat?
Yes, steel wool is a good conductor of heat due to its dense structure and metallic composition. When heat is applied to steel wool, it quickly conducts the heat throughout its structure, making it useful for applications like scrubbing surfaces or starting fires.
Which item decreases as heat is applied?
Volume is increased so density is decreased.
What normally warms up faster when heat is applied?
Materials with lower specific heat capacities typically warm up faster when heat is applied compared to materials with higher specific heat capacities. This is because materials with lower specific heat capacities require less heat energy to increase their temperature. Additionally, materials with lower thermal conductivities may also heat up faster as they retain more heat at the point of application.
Does mass increase as heat is applied?
No. Mass does not increase as heat is applied. Mass is the amount of matter in a body and cannot be changed by any physical or chemical process. Volume will increase when heat is applied.
Is the sun the best conductor of heat?
The sun is not really a conductor of heat, it is agenerator of heat (via a very large and sustained thermonuclear reaction). A conductor of heat is normally a material that allows heat to be transfered through its body; examples of good heat conductors are aluminium and copper
What will happen to iron if heat is applied?
it melts
