The plumbing system of a house involves a 0.5-m section of a plastic pipe (k = 0.16 W/m-C) of inner diameter 2 cm and outer diameter 2.4 cm exposed to the ambient air (refer to figure 3). During a cold and windy night, the ambient air temperature remains at about -5°C for a period of 14 h. The combined convection and radiation heat transfer coefficient on the outer surface of the pipe is estimated to be about 40 W/m2-°C, and the heat of fusion of water is 333.7 kJ/kg. Assuming the pipe to contain stationary water initially at 0°C. (20 pts.) determine (a) if the water in that section of the pipe will completely freeze that night. (b) What is to be done to be sure that water doesn't freeze during the period of 14 h.
400 circumferential fins of rectangular profile (k = 386 W/m °C) are installed on a tube having a diameter of 3 cm and 1 m length that is maintained at a temperature of 200°C.

A common annoyance in cars during winter is the formation of fog on the glass surfaces that blocks the view. A practical way of solving this problem is to blow hot air or to attach electric resistance heaters to the inner surfaces. Consider the rear window of a car that consists of a 0.4-cm-thick glass (k = 0.84 W/m-K and a = 0.39 x 10-6 m2/s). Strip heater wires of negligible thickness are attached to the inner surface of the glass, 4 cm apart. Each wire generates heat at a rate of 25 W/m length. Initially, the entire car, including its windows, is at the outdoor temperature of To= -3°C. The heat transfer coefficients at the inner and outer surfaces of the glass can be taken to be h;= 6 and ho= 20 W/m².K, respectively. Use the explicit finite difference method with a mesh size of Ax = 0.2 cm along the thickness and Ay=1 cm in the direction normal to the heater wires.
