Heat sinks are critical components to modern electronic systems. They are found in everything from cellphones to GPUs. Without them, our modern world would not be possible. This video by Sean McCauley CSWE, Applications Engineer with GoEngineer, gives a brief introduction to the basic principles behind heat sinks. It also gives a brief demonstration of how SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation software can aid us in the design of heat sinks.
