Problem 1(30 points)
A power transistor with three 0.8 mm diameter leads of a copper-silver alloy (k=400Wm-K) dissipates 3.5 Watts of power. The printed circuit board (PCB) on which the transistor is mounted is maintained at 30 C . The air temperature is 20 C and the heat transfer coefficient for the leads is 60Wm2K. The length of the leads from the transistor to printed circuit board is 9.0 mm .
(a) Determine the maximum lead temperature neglecting all convection effects.
(b) Determine the maximum lead temperature if convection is present.
