Characteristics of a One Dimensional Longitudinal Wave
... The results show that the heat effected zone is small enough that the bearing bores are not at risk of being distorted. Also, The zone is small enough to minimize the amount of inspections performed following the weld, and therefore the cost to perform these inspections will be small. Previously dis ...

The Second Law of Thermodynamics
... The second law also asserts that energy has a quality. Preserving the quality of energy is a major concern of engineers. In the above example, the energy stored in a hot container (higher temperature) has higher quality (ability to work) in comparison with the energy contained (at low ...

... The latent heat is the energy involved in the change of phase for a material. The heat required to change a material from the liquid to solid state (or solid to liquid state) is called the heat of fusion.

Heat sink
A heat sink is a passive heat exchanger that transfers the heat generated by an electronic or a mechanical device into a coolant fluid in motion. Then-transferred heat leaves the device with the fluid in motion, therefore allowing the regulation of the device temperature at physically feasible levels. In computers, heat sinks are used to cool central processing units or graphics processors. Heat sinks are used with high-power semiconductor devices such as power transistors and optoelectronics such as lasers and light emitting diodes (LEDs), where the heat dissipation ability of the basic device is insufficient to moderate its temperature.A heat sink is designed to maximize its surface area in contact with the cooling medium surrounding it, such as the air. Air velocity, choice of material, protrusion design and surface treatment are factors that affect the performance of a heat sink. Heat sink attachment methods and thermal interface materials also affect the die temperature of the integrated circuit. Thermal adhesive or thermal grease improve the heat sink's performance by filling air gaps between the heat sink and the heat spreader on the device.
