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.
RthSink = Thermal resistance of the heat sink [K/W]. Î´T = Temperature difference between the heat sink and the ambient air temperature [K]. P = Heat load to be absorbed [W]. The heat load P has to be assumed as heat load of the object plus heat load of the Peltier element due to losses.. The heat sink absorbs the heat load at the warm side of the Peltier element and dissipates it to the surrounding air. The heat sink has to be large enough, so that its temperature doesn't get too high.
