The rear window of a car is defrosted by the passage of warm air on the internal surface. If the warm air is at 40 °C and the internal convection transfer coefficient is 30 W/m²°C, what are the temperatures of the internal and external surfaces of the glass (4 mm thick) if the external air temperature is -10 °C and the convection coefficient is 65 W/m²°C?
