Heatsinks are designed to dissipate heat efficiently from hot components, such as CPUs, GPUs, power transistors, and LED arrays, to the surrounding environment. A thorough thermal simulation and CFD analysis allow engineers to evaluate the heatsink's performance in different operating conditions, determining its ability to maintain the temperature of the device within acceptable limits. By analyzing the effectiveness of different heatsink designs, engineers can optimize the selection and configuration of heatsinks to achieve optimal heat dissipation.
