How does a heat sink improve cooling inside computers?

Chemistry
1 answer:
amid [387]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

It does this by using a thermal conductor (usually metal) to carry heat away from the processor into fins that expose a high amount of surface area to moving air. This allows the air to be heated, thus cooling the heat sink and the processor as well.

Answer:

Explanation:

Hydrogen fusion (nuclear fusion of four protons to form a helium-4 nucleus) is the dominant process that generates energy in the cores of main-sequence stars. It is also called "hydrogen burning", which should not be confused with the chemical combustion of hydrogen in an oxidizing atmosphere.

A cylindrical grain has a base radius of 5m. the surface area is 1099m^2. What is the height of the bin to the nearest metre?
Inessa05 [86]

The height of the bin is 29.9m.

The quantity of space enclosing a three-dimensional shape's exterior is its surface area.

The total surface area of the cylinder formula is simply the sum of the base surface area and the lateral surface area.

The radius of the cylinder, r = 5m

Surface area = 1099 m²

∴ A = 2πrh + 2πr²

  h = \frac{A- 2\pi r^2}{2\pi r}

  h = \frac{1099- 2 (3.141) 5^2}{2 (3.141) 5}

  h = \frac{1099- 157.05}{31.41}

  h = \frac{941.95}{31.41}

  h = 29.9 m

Therefore, the height of the bin is 29.9m.

A boy with pneumonia has lungs with a volume of 1.7 L that fill with 0.070 mol of air when he inhales. When he exhales, his lung
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

0.053moles

Explanation:

Hello,

To calculate the number of moles of gas remaining in his after he exhale, we'll have to use Avogadro's law which states that the volume of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to its number of moles provided that temperature and pressure are kept constant. Mathematically,

V = kN, k = V / N

V1 / N1 = V2 / N2= V3 / N3 = Vx / Nx

V1 = 1.7L

N1 = 0.070mol

V2 = 1.3L

N2 = ?

From the above equation,

V1 / N1 = V2 / N2

Make N2 the subject of formula

N2 = (N1 × V2) / V1

N2 = (0.07 × 1.3) / 1.7

N2 = 0.053mol

The number of moles of gas in his lungs when he exhale is 0.053 moles
