To defrost ice accumulated on the outer surface of an automobile windshield, warm air is blown over the inner surface of the windshield. Consider an automobile windshield with thickness of 5 mm and thermal conductivity of 1.4 W/m·K. The outside ambient temperature is −10°C and the convection heat transfer coefficient is 200 W/m2·K, while the ambient temperature inside the automobile is 25°C. Determine the value of the convection heat transfer coefficient for the warm air blowing over the inner surface of the windshield nec- essary to cause the accumulated ice to begin melting.
