Question: ( 5 0 points ) Rectangular fins with k = 2 5 0 W m K and thickness t = 2 m m and length

(50 points) Rectangular fins with k=250WmK and thickness t=2mm and length L=3 cm are on a 2cm2cm chip base. The chip base is 5 mm thick, is made of material with k=2.5WmK and puts out 20 W total power. Air at 25C flowing around the fins induces a heat transfer coefficient of 150Wm2K. There are 5 fins and 2 mm spacings (see picture below). You may assume the back and sides of the chip are insulated.
A.(40 points) Find the base temperature.
B (10 points) If the maximum temperature in the chip cannot exceed 90C, will this design work? Prove it.
