A very thin metallic sheet is placed between two wood plates of different thicknesses. Theplates are firmly pressed together and electricity is passed through the sheet. The exposed surfaces ofthe two plates lose heat to the ambient fluid by convection. Assume uniform heating at the interface.Neglect end effects and assume steady state.[a] Will the heat transfer through the two plates be the same? Explain.[b] Will the exposed surfaces be at the same temperature? Explain

Design consideration requires that the surface of a small electronic package be maintained at atemperature not to exceed 82 o C. Noise constraints rule out the use of fans. The power dissipated inthe package is 35 watts and the surface area is 520 cm2 . The ambient temperature and surroundingwalls are assumed to be at 24 o C. The heat transfer coefficient is estimated to be 9.2 W/m2- oC andsurface emissivity is 0.7. Will the package dissipate the required power without violating designconstraints?
