Applications that Promote Conduction (Good Conductors)
These applications utilize materials with high thermal conductivity (typically metals) to transfer heat quickly and efficiently.
Cooking Utensils 🍳:
Pots and Pans are made of metals like aluminum, copper, or stainless steel to efficiently conduct heat from the stove burner to the food inside.
Thermal Management in Electronics 💻:
Heat Sinks are attached to CPUs and other microchips using highly conductive metals (aluminum or copper) to conduct waste heat away from the component's surface.
Heat Pipes use the conduction of heat into a metal tube wall and then phase-change cycle to rapidly move heat over a distance.
Appliances 🔥:
The soleplate of an electric iron is made of metal to conduct heat directly onto the clothing.
Electric heating elements (like in toasters or electric kettles) use conductive metal wires to transfer electrical heat to the surrounding environment or substance.
