A 40-W power transistor is to be cooled by attaching it to one of the commercially available heat sinks shown in Table 17–6. Select a heat sink that will allow the case temperature of the transistor not to exceed 90°C in the ambient air at 20°C.

Table 17–6: Combined natural convection and radiation thermal resistance of various heat sinks used in the cooling of electronic devices between the heat sink and the surroundings. All fins are made of aluminum 6063T-5, are black anodized, and are 76 mm (3 in) long.
