Question:

To encourage students to research and think about physical principles in the design of heat sinks. The TEC is glued to a heat sink which cools down one side of the TEC. You will add two further heat sink blocks with heat sink compound between them. What are the physical principles behind the action of the heat sinks? That is, how do they reduce the temperature of the hot side of the TEC? Select the correct answer(s), there may be more than one.

Radiation

Heat capacity

Thermal conduction

Convection

Latent heat

Phase transformation
