    Heat Heat transfer
Click For Summary
Connecting a copper strip from a PC heat sink to cold water can aid in cooling, but its effectiveness may be limited. Using a heat pipe instead of a copper strip can enhance heat transfer significantly. Adding fins to the heat pipe can further improve cooling efficiency by increasing surface area. It's crucial to ensure that the water remains cool, as rising temperatures will diminish the cooling effect. Overall, while the proposed method can help, optimizing the setup with better materials and designs will yield better results.

If I connect copper strip to the heat sink of my PC and then dip the other end of the strip in cold water. Will it help in cooling the heat sink and in return the PC.
I shall be thankful for your answer.
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
it will help a little. If you want to enhance the cooling effect, you can try follwoing:
1,use heat pipe to instand of copper strip
2,add some fins on the end of heat pipe
3,make water flow by fins

BTW, pay attentent to the water's temperature. If no coolig for the water, its temperature will increase and reduce the cooling effect of PC.
 
Pardon my hrrrrr...hrrrr
Could you explain a littttttttle bit
 

Thread 'Measuring Deer Antler Volume'

My idea is that I want to use immerse Whitetail Antlers in a fishtank to measure their volumetric displacement (the Boone and Crockett system is the current record measurement standard to place in a juxtaposition with) I would use some sight glass plumbed into the side of the tank to get the change in height so that I can multiply by the tank cross-section. Simple Idea. But... Is there a simple mechanical way to amplify the height in the sight glass to increase measurement precision...
