Question:

Four power transistors, each dissipating 12 W, are mounted on a thin vertical aluminum plate (k = 237 W/m∙K) 22 cm × 22 cm in size. The heat generated by the transistors is to be dissipated by both surfaces of the plate to the surrounding air at 20°C, which is blown over the plate by a fan at a velocity of 250 m/min. The entire plate can be assumed to be nearly isothermal, and the exposed surface area of the transistor can be taken to be equal to its base area. Determine the temperature of the aluminum plate. Evaluate the air properties at a film temperature of 40°C and 1 atm.
