Question: A computer chip ( shown in blue ) is encapsulated with a solid glass cover ( k = 0 . 1 5 W m K

A computer chip (shown in blue) is encapsulated with a solid glass cover (k =0.15 W m K) for protection. The chip dissipates the generated heat to an ambient temperature is 30\deg C and the dimension and relevant constants can be found on the drawing.
Find:
20 cm
Glass cover
20 cm
2 mm
Computer chip
1. Neglecting radiation, what is the amount of heat generated by the electronic circuit if the outside glass surface temperature (Tso) is 80\deg C?
2. If the heat rate changes to 10 W, what are the inside (Tsi) and outside (Tso) surface temperatures of the glass?
(Hint: in the comments section, among other things, you could also think about what would happen with Tsi if you include radiation into the problem).
