Question: A thin sliced silicon chip is sandwhiched between two - 5 mm thick aluminum substrates ( k = 2 4 0 W / m *

A thin sliced silicon chip is sandwhiched between two-5mm thick aluminum substrates (k=240 W/m*K), Each with a surface area of .0004 m^2. The top and bottom surfaces of substrates are exposed to air, where heat is dissipated through convection. The thermal contact resistance between the silicon chip and each substrate is Rc=.003 K/W, and the chips temperature is assumed to be uniform. The silicone chip dissipates 10 W of heat under steady-state conditions, and the maximum aloowable temperature for the chip is 100 degrees C. Radiation heat transfer is considered negligble.
A)draw a thermal circuit to show the heat flow from the chip to the surrounding air
B)determine whether the silicon chip can operate under the given conditions
C)determine the top surface temperature of the supper substrate, Ts1, with precision to the hundredth place
