Concept explainers

Conduction and Convection

When energy travels from one object to another it is said to have undergone heat transfer. Heat transfer is nothing but the transfer of thermal energy or internal energy from one thing to another, like e.g., when a vessel with water, kept on top of a burner, heats up because of the flame underneath it.

Question

A group of 25 power transistors, dissipating 1.5 W
each, are to be cooled by attaching them to a black-anodized square aluminum plate and mounting the plate on the wall
of a room at 30°C. The emissivity of the transistor and the
plate surfaces is 0.9. Assuming the heat transfer from the
back side of the plate to be negligible and the temperature of
the surrounding surfaces to be the same as the air temperature
of the room, determine the size of the plate if the average
surface temperature of the plate is not to exceed 50°C.

An electronic box that consumes 200 W of power is cooled by a fan blowing air into the box enclosure. The dimensions of the electronic box are 15 cm * 50 cm * 50 cm, and all surfaces of the box are exposed to the ambient except the base surface. Temperature measurements indicate that the box is at an average temperature of 32°C when the ambient temperature and the temperature of the surrounding walls are 25°C. If the emissivity of the outer surface of the box is 0.75, determine the fraction of the heat lost from the outer surfaces of the electronic box.
A 50-cm * 50-cm circuit board that contains 121 square chips on one side is to be cooled by combined natural convection and radiation by mounting it on a vertical surface in a room at 25°C. Each chip dissipates 0.18 W of power, and the emissivity of the chip surfaces is 0.7. Assuming the heat transfer from the back side of the circuit board to be negligible, and the temperature of the surrounding surfaces to be the same as the air temperature of the room, determine the surface temperature of the chips. Evaluate air properties at a film temperature of 30°C and 1 atm pressure. Is this a good assumption?
