4-80 An electronic device dissipating 30 W has a mass of 20 g and a specific heat of 850 J/kg · °C. The device is lightly used, and it is on for 5 min and then off for several hours, during which it cools to the ambient temperature of 25°C. Determine the highest possible temperature of the device at the end of the 5-min operating period. What would your answer be if the device were attached to a 0.2-kg aluminum heat sink? Assume the device and the heat sink to be nearly isothermal. | |
