Question
(b)
A transistor with a height of 0.4 cm and a diameter of 0.6 cm is mounted on a circuit board
as shown in Figure 3. The transistor is cooled by air flowing over it with an average heat
transfer coefficient of 30 W/m².K. If 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.
