**Question:** What specific changes to the Earth’s greenhouse effect (atmospheric composition) affect global warming?[Explaination:]This question explores how alterations in the composition of Earth's atmosphere can influence global warming through the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is a natural process where certain gases in the atmosphere trap heat, keeping the planet warm. Increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide enhance this effect, leading to a rise in Earth's average surface temperature.#### Key Points:- **Greenhouse Gases:** These include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and fluorinated gases. Human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes increase these gases.- **Impact on Temperature:** Higher concentrations of greenhouse gases increase the heat trapped by the atmosphere, raising global temperatures. This contributes to climate change, resulting in extreme weather, rising sea levels, and ecosystem disruptions.- **Feedback Loops:** Melting ice reduces the Earth's albedo, meaning less sunlight is reflected and more is absorbed, further warming the planet. Thawing permafrost releases methane, a potent greenhouse gas, exacerbating the effect.**Diagrams or Graphs:**There are no diagrams or graphs accompanying this question.

2. Electrical components often failure due to thermal overload. It follows that thermal analysis of electrical components is critical to their longevity. Consider a silicon chip which is sitting atop a ceramic substrate with 35 mm2 of exposed surface area. Operating at steady state, the chip can pull up to 120 mW of power. The chip surface is cooled by convection from flowing air at 20°C. The heat transfer from the chip to the air is given by Q = hA(T, – T) where h is the thermal convection coefficient, A is the exposed surface area, and Tb and Tr are absolute temperatures of the body and coolant fluid, respectively. h of the flowing air is found to be 250 W/(m2-K). Assuming heat transfer to the substrate is negligible compared to convection, determine: the heat transfer occurring at steady state (W) the temperature at the outer surface of the chip ("C) a. b.
