Computers do produce heat. However, they avoid actually absorbing it because to do so would make their temperatures rise which would destroy many of their electronic components. Rather they have fans and cooling fins which serve to _dissipate_ heat to the surrounding air. The fans move air past components, especially the CPU (central processing unit) and power supply, that produce most of the heat. The cooling fins provide large surface areas so that heat can move from metal to surrounding air most readily.
For pictures of the cooling fins used with CPUs search images.Google.com for cpu cooling fins.
What else can I help you with?
What do refrigerators use to absorb heat and lower the temperature of the food inside?
FREON. Freon is now illegal because it damages the Earth's ozone layer. The replacement refrigerant is the inert gas tetrafluoroethane commonly called R134a. Also note that the refrigerator does not"absorb" the heat. It is transferred from inside the compartment to outside the compartment. It does this by the use of two heat exchangers. One transfers the heat from the inside to the refrigerant and the second transfers the heat from the refrigerant to the outside.
What qualities of the ocean enable it to efficiently absorb heat?
The ocean's high heat capacity, thermal conductivity, and vast surface area enable it to efficiently absorb heat.
How does sand soil rock absorb heat?
Sand, soil, and rocks absorb heat from the sun due to their color and composition. Their surfaces are generally dark and have a high heat capacity, allowing them to absorb and retain heat. This absorption process is what causes these materials to become warm when exposed to sunlight.
A substance can absorb heat energy by the process of?
There are three methods by which substances absorb heat. These are conduction, or heat transfer through contact, convection, or heat transfer through fluid motion, and radiation, or heat transfer through electromagnetic radiation.
What do greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb?
Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb and trap heat energy from the sun. They prevent some of this heat from escaping back into space, contributing to the Earth's warming and the greenhouse effect.
How computers deals with heat?
They use a heat sink
Do plants absorb heat from their surroundings?
Plants do not absorb heat from their surroundings. Instead, they primarily absorb sunlight for photosynthesis and use it to produce energy.
Do flowers absorb heat?
Flowers do not absorb heat directly as they do not have the metabolic processes to generate heat. However, they can be affected by heat from their surroundings, which can impact their growth and development.
What is the purpose of a heat sink in a computer?
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.
Do black objects absorb heat?
They absorb light which is converted into heat energy
What are the common use of energy?
Light, heat, sound, cooking, transport, use of computers and televisions.
Can a sponge absorb heat?
A sponge definitely does have the ability to absorb heat. Sponges absorb heat as well as many other things like water.
Which side of the foil do you use when cooking?
When cooking with foil, use the shiny side facing out to reflect heat and the dull side facing in to absorb heat.
A technician has a room of computers which are running very hot The technician discovers that the heat sinks in the computers are very dusty What should the technician use to clean the heat sinks?
The technician can use an anti static vacuum. or you can use some type of compressed air.
Do flowers absorb?
no i don't thimg they absorb heat
Would material absorb more heat?
If there was more heat to absorb than was already in the material.
Will tin foil absorb heat?
Tin foil does not absorb heat, but it can reflect heat if it is shiny and smooth. This can help to trap heat in or keep heat out, depending on how it is used.
