A thin electronic circuit board, 0.1 m by 0.1 m in size, is to be cooled in air at 25°C. The board is placed in a vertical position and the back side is well insulated. If the heat dissipation is uniform at 200 W/m2, determine the average temperature of the surface of the board cover.
GIVEN
• Vertical circuit board in air
• Back is well insulated
• Board dimensions (L × H) = 0.1 m × 0.1 m
• Air temperature (T ?) = 25°C
• Uniform heat dissipation rate ( q G/A) = 200 W/m2
FIND
• The average temperature of the surface of the board (Ts)
ASSUMPTIONS
• Ambient air is still
• The board has reached steady state
• Radiation is negligible
