Difference between Heat sink and Thermal radiation

Heat sink vs. Thermal radiation

A heat sink (also commonly spelled heatsink) is a passive heat exchanger that transfers the heat generated by an electronic or a mechanical device to a fluid medium, often air or a liquid coolant, where it is dissipated away from the device, thereby allowing regulation of the device's temperature at optimal levels. Thermal radiation is electromagnetic radiation generated by the thermal motion of charged particles in matter.

Similarities between Heat sink and Thermal radiation

Heat sink and Thermal radiation have 6 things in common (in Unionpedia): Emissivity, Heat transfer, Kelvin, Sun, Thermal conduction, Vacuum.

Emissivity

The emissivity of the surface of a material is its effectiveness in emitting energy as thermal radiation.

Heat transfer

Heat transfer is a discipline of thermal engineering that concerns the generation, use, conversion, and exchange of thermal energy (heat) between physical systems.

Kelvin

The Kelvin scale is an absolute thermodynamic temperature scale using as its null point absolute zero, the temperature at which all thermal motion ceases in the classical description of thermodynamics.

Thermal conduction

Thermal conduction is the transfer of heat (internal energy) by microscopic collisions of particles and movement of electrons within a body.

Heat sink and Thermal radiation Comparison

Heat sink has 55 relations, while Thermal radiation has 96. As they have in common 6, the Jaccard index is 3.97% = 6 / (55 + 96).
