I think this is the answer, but I'm not so sure. The sun gives of different waves varied according to their wave length. We see different colors because for example green leaves absorbs all colors except for the color green which is reflected and bounced back to its surroundings causing us to see the color green. In black things, it absorbs all colors thus causing us to see black.

In other words, it absorbs all the waves that is given of by the sun which makes it a heat sink.

How does heat capacity makes water a good heat sink?

Water has a high heat capacity, meaning it can absorb and store a large amount of heat before its temperature changes significantly. This property makes water an effective heat sink because it can absorb heat from its surroundings, such as in cooling systems, without experiencing a rapid increase in temperature. Additionally, water's high heat capacity allows it to release heat slowly, making it useful in regulating temperature changes in various processes.


What is the function of a processor heat sink?

To sink the heat.


What is fansink?

A Fan sink is a Heat sink with a fixed FAN. Heat sink's are blocks of metal, primarily used are are copper, and aluminum, that draw heat from a source ( such as your Processor, or another heat producing chip set ) and spread it across its surface area to be air cooled. A Fan sink, combine's the heat drawing of it's sink with a dedicated fan blowing air into ore out from the heat sink below it. This will significantly improve the sinks cooling power. So a processor cooler is most likely a Fan sink, but some chips surrounding it may only have a heat sink. ( Southbridge controller is usually placed near your CPU and is fitted with a black block of metal that has a lot of blades on it )


Why is water a good heat sink?

Water is a good heat sink due to its high specific heat capacity, which allows it to absorb and retain a significant amount of heat without experiencing a large increase in temperature. This property helps regulate temperature changes in various environments and processes. Additionally, water's ability to circulate and transfer heat efficiently enhances its effectiveness as a heat sink in applications such as cooling systems and climate regulation.


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


What is normally applied to the heat sink of a CPU to insure good heat?

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.


Why black objects heat up more in sunshine?

because black is good absorber of heat


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.


Is black good conductor of heat?

No, black is not a good conductor of heat. Dark colors like black tend to absorb more heat from the sun or high-temperature sources, but they do not transfer that heat well compared to good conductors like metals.
