Consider the circuit in Example 8.4. Assume that a heat sink is attached to the 2N3904 BJT (data sheet in Appendix D) and it has the following thermal resistance values and θCS = 10°C/W and θSA = 8°C/W. If the device is operated at an ambient temperature of 130°C, determine the maximum power dissipation of the BJT and its reliability in 50 years.
