Hey,
I have a question regarding heat transfer. I was wondering if a heat sink works in both ways equally effective. What I mean by that is if we submerge the fins of a heat sink into a hot environment, will it transfer the heat equally effective to cold environment which it's mounted on compared to the fins being submerged in a cold environment and we would be cooling the hot environment that the heat sink is mounted on (normal use of a heatsink). A diagram for a better understanding is below.
Thank you for your answers :)
