Question: A 2 cm - long cylindrical transistor with O . D . 0 . 5 mm should be electronically insulated by a material with thermal

A 2 cm -long cylindrical transistor with O.D.0.5 mm should be electronically insulated by a material with thermal conductivity of \(0.1\mathrm{~W}/\mathrm{m}\cdot \mathrm{K}\). Assume that air temperature is 300 K in its working environment with an associated convective heat transfer coefficient of \(20\mathrm{~W}/\mathrm{m}^{2}\cdot \mathrm{~K}\). If the dissipated heat is 0.2 W , determine (a) the radius of the insulation layer for the best cooling effect (5') and (b) working temperature of the transistor with the optimal insulation design. (5')
