Chapter 1
Chapter 1 covers some
basic concepts, dealing with 1st law.
Example 1
Starting
with the energy equation for steady 1-D conduction in spherical coordinates, determine the conduction resistance in spherical
coordinates. Solution
Example 2
A
computer chip is epoxied to an aluminum substrate, as shown in the figure. Heat
is uniformly generated in the computer chip.
Assuming heat transfer from the sides to be negligible, determine the
chip temperature:
a.
If the
chip is assumed to be thin enough so it can be considered to be at a uniform
temperature Tc, Solution
b.
If the
temperature variation in the chip is included. Solution
