An electronic device dissipating 20 W has a mass of 20 g, a specific heat of 850

Question:

An electronic device dissipating 20 W has a mass of 20 g, a specific heat of 850 J/kg · K, and a surface area of 4 cm2. The device is lightly used, and it is on for 5 min and then off for several hours, during which it cools to the ambient temperature of 25°C. Taking the heat transfer coefficient to be 12 W/m2 · K, determine the temperature of the device at the end of the 5-min operating period. What would your answer be if the device were attached to an aluminum heat sink having a mass of 200 g and a surface area of 80 cm2? Assume the device and the heat sink to be nearly isothermal.
