A transistor with a height of 0.4 cm and a diameter of 0.6 cm is mounted on a circuit board. The transistor is cooled by air flowing over it with an average heat transfer coefficient of 30 W/m². °C. The air temperature is 55°C and the transistor case temperature is not to exceed 70°C. Determine the amount of power this transistor can dissipate safely. Disregard any heat transfer from the transistor base. Your solution must state governing equations and associated assumptions, illustration and step by step execution of the overall solution.

A 100-liter water tank is heated from a 2-kW electrical source. The water is heated up from 20∘C and reached into a terminal temperature of 70∘C. How much is the thermal resistance of the tank? (specific heat of water Cp=4.2kJ/kg)
A computer room located on the second floor of a five-story office building is 10m by 7 m. The exterior wall is 3.5 m high and 10 m long; it is a metal curtain wall (steel backed with 10 mm of insulating board), 75 mm of glass-fiber insulation, and 16 mm of gypsum board. Single-glazed windows make up 30 percent of the exterior wall. The computer and lights in the room operate 24 h/d and have a combined heat release to the space of 2 kw. The indoor temperature is 20 C. (a) If the building is located in Columbus, Ohio, determine the heating load at winter design conditions. (b) What would be the load if the windows were double-glazed?
