You are designing a small heatsink to cool a high-powered IC on a control unit PCB. The IC puts out 40,000 W/m2 and has a size of 40mm x 20mm. A fan blows 40 degrees C air across the IC at a speed of 4 m/s. The IC is well insulated on its back face. If the convection coefficient is 62 W/m2K, what is the surface temperature of the IC?
