4 The rear window of an automobile is defogged by attach- ing a thin, transparent, film-type heating element to its inner surface. By electrically heating this element, a uni- form heat flux may be established at the inner surface. (a) For 4-mm-thick window glass, determine the electrical power required per unit window area to maintain an inner surface temperature of 15°C when the interior air temperature and convection coefficient are T = 25°C and h₁ = 10 W/m². K, while the exterior (ambient) air temperature and convection coefficient are T 00,0 -10°C℃ and h = 65 W/m².K. = (b) In practice T, and h, vary according to weather conditions and car speed. For values of h, 2, 20, 65, and 100 W/m².K, determine and plot the electrical power requirement as a function of T for -30 ≤T≤ 0°C. From your results, what can you conclude about the need for heater operation at low values of h? How is this conclusion affected by the value of T? If h« V", where Vis the vehicle speed and n is a positive exponent, how does the vehicle speed affect the need for heater operation?
