Natural disasters can cause both immediate and long-term issues. For example, flooding is an immediate threat with dangerous high waters, and it can also cause an area to lose electricity for extended periods of time. To combat this, engineers have designed boxes that can keep food cool when there is no electricity for refrigeration.

The boxes must maximize thermal energy transfer to prevent thermal energy from transferring out of the boxes.

The boxes must maximize thermal energy transfer to prevent thermal energy from transferring into the boxes.

The boxes must minimize thermal energy transfer to prevent thermal energy from transferring into the boxes.

The boxes must minimize thermal energy transfer to prevent thermal energy from transferring out of the boxes.

When a computer is on, the central processing unit (CPU) can be damaged if it becomes too hot. To prevent the CPU from overheating, it is connected to a device called a heat sink. The image below shows a heat sink made of copper bars and aluminum sheets. Air is pulled between the aluminum sheets using a fan.

The combined weight of the CPU and heat sink must be minimized.

The density of the heat sink must be maximized to reduce the amount of space it needs.

The heat sink must maximize the transfer of thermal energy out of the CPU.

The reflection of light from the CPU and the heat sink must be minimized.
