Question: A computer CPU chip, 1 8 m m square, generates heat at a rate of 5 0 Watts. The chip is mounted to a 8

A computer CPU chip, 18mm square, generates heat at a rate of 50 Watts. The chip is mounted to a 8mm thick substrate PCB board with glue. Forced convection cools a pattern of 2mm square copper pins.
a) Determine the minimum amount of square copper pins needed to get the chip surface temperature at or below 60C. Assume the pins are perfectly attached to a copper base. Assume copper base on top of the chip is thin and has negligible conduction through the thickness. Don't forget sanity checks: number of pins must be an integer & will that many pins fit on the chip?
b) What is the total q for all cooling mechanisms?
c) What is an individual fin efficiency?
