An electronic device that internally generates 600 mW of heat has a maximum permissible operating temperature of 70°C. It is to be cooled in 25°C air by attaching aluminum fins with a total surface area of 12 cm2 . The convection heat transfer coefficient between the fins and the air is 20 W/(m2 K). Estimate the operating temperature when the fins are attached in such a way that: (a) there exists a contact resistance between the surface of the device and the fin array of approximately 50 K/W, and (b) there is no contact resistance but the construction of the device is more expensive. Comment on the design options.
