Problem 7: When attempting to bond two materials together thermally, such as a CPU and heatsink, an interface material is often used to fill in the minute gaps on the surfaces and provide better contact. Temperature drop across the interface is of extreme interest in cases like this. Given the figure below with 25mm H x 25mm W plates, what is the temperature drop across the silicone, including the bond m²K resistance? ASsume a thermal contact resistance of R. = 0.0001 on each side where the silicone W bonds to the aluminum. Note: You still have to also account for the thickness of the silicone separately.
