	Method of making a heat sink - Patent 5215140
		Heat sinks commonly are attached to electronic devices (e.g., integrated circuits) to dissipate the heat which the devices generate during operation.
		In order to do this, the heat sinks are designed to have a maximum surface area, the size of which determines their heat dissipating capacity, while still occupying the smallest possible volume so that the heat sink takes up as little usable space as possible in the electronic assembly.
		Some heat sinks, including the pin fin types, are fabricated using conventional die casting techniques in which a reusable steel mold containing cavities that correspond to the fins or pins of the heat sink is filled with molten metal such as zinc or aluminum.

	Processor Cooling
		Heat sinks that attach using clips should normally be used with heat sink compound to ensure proper heat transfer.
		When clips are used, heat sink compound should be placed between the processor and the heat sink to ensure good thermal conductivity and hence proper cooling of the processor.
		Heat sinks operate by conducting heat from the processor to the heat sink and then radiating it to the air.

	Icepak - News - Icepak Articles - Understanding Advanced Heat Sink Design: Augmented-Fins Improve Cooling with Reduced ...
		Newer types of heat sink, known as augmented-fin designs, address this problem by staggering the fins and placing the downstream leading edge of each fin section in the exact center of the air channel, maintaining a constant cross-sectional area for the air to move through the heat sink.
		In this case, all the heat sink dimensions are identical except for the shape of the fins in the airflow channels.
		Heat sinks cooled by forced air are limited by a heat transfer coefficient at each fin, which controls convective heat removal to the air stream.

	Heat Sink Operation
		Heat sinks aren't just for stopping the expansion of metals, they are instrumental in whisking heat away from devices that are very sensitive to heat problems.
		The heat flows from the chip to the large heat sink (which might be cooled by air from a fan.) Powerful super computers might have liquid-cooled heat sinks that the chips are bonded to.
		The heat capacity of a piece of metal depends not only on how large it is (large objects tend to be harder to change the temperature of), but also what kind of metal it is. Aluminum for example, takes a lot more energy to heat up than copper or iron.

	HEAT SINK
		Heat sinks are used to carry away heat from central processors (CPUs) or in any electrical/electronic circuit for that matter.
		CPUs generate a lot of heat and this needs to be quickly removed since excessive heat has a detrimental effect on the CPU performance and its life and in extreme cases may even cause a meltdown.
		Air-cooled heat sinks can be of bonded fin type, extruded or copper and liquid-cooled heat sinks can be of liquid-cooled plates or cold plates.

	The Arctic as a Heat Sink
		Most of the heat gain occurs in low latitudes, and this gain is balanced (on average) by heat loss that takes place at latitudes north and south of about 40 degrees.
		Therefore the Arctic is said to act as a "heat sink" for energy that is transported from lower latitudes by ocean currents and by atmospheric circulation systems.
		Sensible heat is transported poleward during the exchange of air masses from the tropics to the middle and high latitudes.

	Therma-Base Vapor Chamber Heat Sink Thermal Solution
		Heat sinks are most efficient when there is a uniform heat flux applied over the entire base.
		The brute force approach to overcoming spreading resistance is to increase the size of the heat sink, increase the thickness of the base, increase the airflow, or decrease the incoming air temperature.
		As in a heat pipe, the thermal resistance associated with the vapor spreading is negligible, providing an effective means of spreading the heat from a concentrated source to a large surface.

	Heat sink patent invention
		Where liquid coolant is used, for example, the liquid is pumped through a block on the heat source where it becomes heated and the heated liquid is then pumped or otherwise moves, as by movement through a heat pipe, to a heat sink located at some distance from the block.
		Once the heated liquid arrives at the heat sink, heat is conducted into the thermal plate and out into the fins where the heat is passed into a fluid such as an airflow passing through the fins.
		The heat sink may include a first end, a second end, a duct extending along an axis into the heat sink, the duct opening at the first end of the heat sink and a plurality of fins arranged substantially annularly to define the duct with fin spaces between the fins opening into the duct.

	Thermoelectric Heat Management - Heat Sinks KeyWords:(Cooler TEC Peltier)
		A typical design parameter might be to limit the heat sink temperature rise above ambient to 10°C to 20°C. The heat sink temperature directly affects the cooler hot side temperature, which in turn affects the cold side temperature that can be achieved with a TEC.
		Heat sink resistance is the measure of the ability of the sink to dissipate the applied heat and is given by:
		Ambient temperature is 27°C, the desired rise across the heat sink is 10°C, or heat sink temperature at 37°C. The load that must be dissipated is 10W.

	Heat sink: key information: Materials Co.,ltd.
		Heat sinks are devices that enhance heat dissipation from a hot surface, usually the case of a heat generating component, to a cooler ambient, usually air.
		In most situations, heat transfer across the interface between the solid surface and the coolant air is the least efficient within the system, and the solid-air interface represents the greatest barrier for heat dissipation.
		A heat sink lowers this barrier mainly by increasing the surface area that is in direct contact with the coolant.

	Peavey.com :: Heat Sink Technology
		While spreading out the heat is desirable in passive cooling, once you move up to forced air, you often need to bring the heat sources closer together to better control the cooling.
		By angling two heat sink extrusions toward each other, forming a truncated "V", the heat transfer is significantly increased at the narrow end.
		The net result of tuning the heat sink for air temperature, the devices all operate at close to the same temperature and the amplifier will be able to do more work before the hottest power device gets too hot.
