A 0.15-m-square circuit board is to be cooled in a vertical position, as shown in the sketch. The board is insulated on one side while on the other, 100 closely spaced square chips are mounted, each of which dissipated 0.06 W of heat. The board is exposed to air at 25°C and the maximum allowable chip temperature is 60°C. Investigate the following cooling options
(a) Natural convection
(b) Air cooling with upward flow at a velocity of 0.5 m/s
(c) Air cooling with downward flow at the velocity of 0.5 m/s
