    Heat Heat transfer
AI Thread 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 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Find 3D Printer & Software Resources for Prototype Creation'

I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
