Sink - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1024 words)
In plumbing, a sink or basin is a bowl-shaped fixture that is used for washing hands or small objects such as food, dishes, nylons, socks or underwear.
Sinks generally have faucets (taps) that supply hot and cold water and may include a spray feature to be used for faster rinsing.
Especially for bottom-mount sinks, silicone-based sealants are usually used to assure a waterproof joint between the sink and the countertop material.
Heat sink - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (522 words)
Microprocessors and power handling semiconductors are examples of electronics that need a heat sink to reduce their temperature through increased thermal mass and heat dissipation (primarily by conduction and convection and to a lesser extent by radiation).
While a heat sink is a static object, a fan often aids a heat sink by providing increased airflow over the heat sink — thus maintaining a larger temperature gradient by replacing the warmed air more quickly than passive convection achieves alone — this is known as a forced air system.
Efficient heat sinks are vital to overclocked computer systems because the better the various microprocessors' cooling rate, the faster the computer can operate without instability; generally, faster operation leads to higher performance.
