Engineers have recognized the importance of radiant surface area, but the constraints of the heat from the components to the heatsink. The heatsink, in turn, must dissipate this the automotive environment have forced heatsink designs to remain compact. In order to heat or become too hot for the internal components to operate properly. The heat can be improve radiating efficiency, designers have simply added more fins. With limited space, transferred from the heatsink by three different processes
