A leading manufacturer of household appliances is proposing a self-cleaning oven design that involves use of a composite window separating the oven cavity from the room air (Figure 2a). The composite is to consist of two high-temperature plastics (A and B) of thicknesses LA = 2LB and thermal conductivities ka = 0.15 W/m·K and kB = 0.08 W/m K. During the self-cleaning process, the oven wall and air temperatures, Tw and Ta, are 400°C, while the room air temperature T is 25°C. The inside convection and radiation heat transfer coefficients h; and hr, as well as the outside convection coefficient ho, are each approximately 25 W/m2.K. What is the minimum window thickness, L = La + LB, needed to ensure a temperature that is 50°C or less at the outer surface of the window? This temperature must not be exceeded for safety reasons.
