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.
