In the design of electronic components, it is very desirable to attach the electronic circuitry to a substrate material that is a very good thermal conductor but also a very effective electrical insulator. If the high cost is not a major concern, what material would you propose for the substrate?
Hot water is to be cooled as it flows through the tubes exposed to atmospheric air. Fins are to be attached in order to enhance heat transfer. Would you recommend attaching the fins inside or outside the tubes? Why?
Answer all questions strictly otherwise dont attempt it.
conduction convection experimentIf the material of the fins can be changed to reduce the total thermal resistance, which material is advantageous to use?If you could change the speed or temperature of the air to reduce the total thermal resistance, how would you change it?List all the causes that can cause errors in your conclusions, and consider how changes in those causes affect the results.
