Question:

there are 16 LEDs in a closed container, and there is a heat sink on the adjacent wall?

how can i transfer the heat from the LEDs to the heat sink? (p.s. a heat sink is like a vent)

Answer:

Though one: I suggest you keep the air moving over the LED's. Like using a fan. That will prevent a hot air build up over them.
either a fan, or some heavy aluminum. For example, mount the LEDs on a 0.1 or 0.2 thick aluminum plate, which continues to the heat sink. .

If the container is closed, then using a fan might not cool the tin down very much. You could try fixing as large a metal plate (copper or aluminium) to the tin, and then using the fan, blowing onto the plate. A computer power-supply fan is a good idea. However this won't make use of your heatsink. The only way would be to either conect the heat sink and the can together with copper or aluminium sheet, or use water, flowing around the can, and also the heatsink. (A bit messy)
