An electronic device is cooled by passing air at 27°C through six small tubular passages in parallel drilled through the bottom of the device in parallel as shown. The mass flow rate per tube is 7 × 10–5 kg/s. Heat is generated in the device resulting in approximately uniform heat flux to the air in the cooling passage. To determine the heat flux, the air outlet temperature is measured and found to be 77°C. Calculate the rate of heat generation, the average heat transfer coefficient, and the surface temperature of the cooling channel at the center and at the outlet.
