Question: A 9 0 m m 9 0 m m flat surface heat sink has sixteen circular cross - section studs attached with their axes perpendicular

A 90mm90mm flat surface heat sink has sixteen circular
cross-section studs attached with their axes perpendicular to
the surface. The heat sink primary surface is at a plate
temperature of 70C. Each fin has a diameter of 12 mm and
height of 70 mm . The surrounding air temperature is at 28C.
The thermal conductivity of the fin material is 35Wm.K
and the convective heat transfer coefficient is 120Wm2*K.
Neglect heat loss from the tip of each fin.
(a) What is the heat flow through the heat sink?
(15 marks)
(b) Determine the fin efficiency and effectiveness.
(6 marks)
(c) Find the temperature at the tip of the fins.
