Question 7

An electrical circuit is embedded in a

silicone slab, which has a thickness

equal to 0.04 m. If the heat flux

dissipated towards the surrounding

amounts 4.4 kW/m2 on each slab side,

evaluate the volumetric heat generation

in kW/m3 to 1 decimal unit.

Suggestion: the temperature field across

the system is symmetric.
