You are designing a heatsink to cool a 100mm tall, 100mm wide surface. The fins you use are vertically mounted thin plates, 2mm thick. The fins are spaced 5mm apart (pitch = 7mm) and protrude 50mm from the base. If the base temperature is 80 celsius , determine the optimum fin spacing. Note- RT is 25 celsius
