Determine the temperature distribution in a wire lead

Reference no: EM131135553

From Problem 1.71 consider the wire leads connecting the transistor to the circuit board. The leads are of thermal conductivity k, thickness t. width w, and length L. One end of a lead is maintained at a temperature Tc corresponding to the transistor case, while the other end assumes the temperature 0, of the circuit board. During steady-state operation current flow through the leads provides for uniform volumetric heating in the amount q, while there is convection cooling to air that is at T8 and maintains a convection coefficient h.
