Answer:

Maximum allowable chip power is 0.35 W

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is incomplete. The complete question is

A square isothermal chip is of width w = 5 mm on a side and is mounted in a substrate such that its side and back surfaces are well insulated; the front surface is exposed to the flow of a coolant at t[infinity] = 15°c. from reliability considerations, the chip temperature must not exceed t = 85°c. f the coolant is air and the corresponding convection 200 w/m2 k, what is the maximum allowable chip power?

ANSWER:

The heat transfer through convection, we have the equation:

q = hA(T - T∞)

where,

q = power transfer through convection = ?

h = convection coefficient = 200 W/m²K

A = Area of convection surface = (0.005 m)² = 0.000025 m²

T = Chip surface temperature = 85° C

T∞ = Fluid temperature = 15° C

Therefore,

q = (200 W/m².K)(0.000025 m²)(85° C - 15° C)

q = 0.35 W

Since, difference in temperature is same on both Celsius and kelvin scale. Therefore, Celsius is written as kelvin for difference and they shall be cancelled.
