Example Heat transfer from a transistor may be enhanced by inserting it in an aluminum sleeve (k = 200 w/mekK) having 12 integrally machined longitudinal fins on its outer surface. The transistor radius and height are r, = 2 mm and H = 6 mm, respectively, while the fins are of length L=r3—r2= 10mm and uniform thickness t = 0.7 mm. The thickness of the sleeve base is r2 — r; = 1mm, and the contact resistance of the sleeve-transistor interface is R’,, = 10°m?«K/w. Air at T.. = 20°C flows over the fin surface, providing an approximately uniform convection coefficient of h = 25 wim’K. 1. Assuming one-dimensional transfer in the radial direction, sketch the equivalent thermal circuit for heat transfer from the transistor case (r= r,) to the air. Clearly label each resistance. 2. Evaluate each of the resistances in the foregoing circuit. If the temperature of the transistor case is T; = 80°C, what is the rate of heat transfer from the sleeve?
