EEVblog #105 - Electronics Thermal Heatsink Design Tutorial
Why people recommend it
Dave Jones's tutorial on calculating thermal resistance and sizing a heatsink, routinely linked when someone asks how hot a regulator or transistor will run.
Watch for: Covers a single device per heatsink; shared heatsinks need extra working
In their words
Dave Jones has an interesting video on this.

I am following this video from EEV blog where he talks about calculating heatsinks and I noticed that he does not talk about multiple components sharing a single heatsink.

Here I have linked a video by Dave from EEVblog that should assist you greatly if you are having any difficulties with thermal design.
