An electronic device, in the form of a disk 20 mm in diameter, dissipates 100 W when mounted flush on a large aluminum alloy (2024) block whose temperature is maintained at 27°C. The mounting arrangement is such that a contact resistance of
 m2 ∙ K/W exists at the interface between the device and the block.
Â

(a) Calculate the temperature the device will reach, assuming that all the power generated by the device must be transferred by conduction to the block.
(b) To operate the device at a higher power level, a circuit designer proposes to attach a finned heat sink to the top of the device. The pin fins and base material are fabricated from copper (k = 400 W/m∙ K) and are exposed to an airstream at 27°C for which the convection coefficient is 1000 W/m2 ∙ K. For the device temperature computed in part (a), what is the permissible operating power?
