Nor, again, that of a bad man passing from adversity to prosperity: for nothing can be more alien to the spirit of Tragedy; it possesses no single tragic quality; it neither satisfies the moral sense nor calls forth pity or fear.
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.
As this happens, the hotter object cools down, and the cooler object warms up. This is how, say, water in a pot on a stove absorbs heat: the stove heats up the bottom of the pan, and that heat is conducted into the water in the pot. Another form of heat transfer is radiation. You may know that atoms are made of electrons (and other stuff), and that electrons create electric fields.
