A 0.4-W cylindrical electronic component with diameter 0.3 cm and length 1.8 cm and mounted on a circuit board is cooled by air flowing across it at a velocity of 240 m/min. If the air temperature is 35°C, determine the surface temperature of the component. For air properties evaluations assume a film temperature of 50°C. Is this a good assumption?
