    When an aerator is added to the faucet (or fluid stream), there is a region of high pressure created behind the aerator. Because of the higher pressure behind the aerator and the low pressure in front of it (outside the faucet), due to Bernoulli's principle there is an increase in velocity of the fluid flow.

  8. Heat sink - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_sink

    The inlet air temperature of the heat sink is therefore higher, which also results in a higher heat-sink base temperature. If there is no air flow around the heat sink, energy cannot be transferred. A heat sink is not a device with the "magical ability to absorb heat like a sponge and send it off to a parallel universe". [2]
