Heat dissipation from a heat sink mainly takes place by conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction occurs as heat is transferred from the heat-generating component to the heat sink material. Convection occurs as heat is transferred from the surface of the heat sink to the surrounding air, often enhanced by airflow (e.g., from a fan). Radiation is the emission of heat in the form of infrared radiation from the heat sink to the environment.
