Aheatsink(orheatsink)isanenvironmentorobjectthatabsorbsanddissipatesheatfromanotherobjectusingthermalcontact(eitherdirectorradiant).Heatsinksareusedinawiderangeofapplicationswhereverefficientheatdissipationisrequired;majorexamplesincluderefrigeration,heatengines,coolingelectronicdevicesandlasers. Principle: Heatsinksfunctionbyefficientlytransferringthermalenergy("heat")fromanobjectatarelativelyhightemperaturetoasecondobjectatalowertemperaturewithamuchgreaterheatcapacity.Thisrapidtransferofthermalenergyquicklybringsthefirstobjectintothermalequilibriumwiththesecond,loweringthetemperatureofthefirstobject,fulfillingtheheatsink'sroleasacoolingdevice.Efficientfunctionofaheatsinkreliesonrapidtransferofthermalenergyfromthefirstobjecttotheheatsink,andtheheatsinktothesecondobject.
