Consider a power transistor that dissipates 0.2 W of power in an environment at 30°C. The transistor is 0.4 cm long and has a diameter of 0.5 cm. Assuming heat to be transferred uniformly from all surfaces, determine (a) the amount of heat this resistor dissipates during a 24-h period, in kWh; (b) the heat flux on the surface of the transistor, in W/m2; and (c) the surface temperature of the resistor for a combined convection and radiation heat transfer coefficient of 18 W/m2·K.

Consider a power transistor that dissipates 0.2 W
of power in an environment at 30°C. The transistor is 0.4 cm long and has a diameter of 0.5 cm. Assuming heat to be
transferred uniformly from all surfaces, determine (a) the
amount of heat this resistor dissipates during a 24-h period,
in kWh; (b) the heat flux on the surface of the transistor, in
W/m2; and (c) the surface temperature of the resistor for a
combined convection and radiation heat transfer coefficient
of 18 W/m2·K.
