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 hị 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.

Three of the following statements are true, but one is false. Indicate which one is false. A) There is no critical thickness of insulation for a flat surface (plane wall). B) Insulation my increase or decrease the heat transfer from a pipe or a sphere. C) In a cylindrical pipe or a spherical shell, the additional insulation increases the conduction resistance of the insulation layer but decreases the convection resistance of the surface. D) Small bodies with high thermal conductivities and low convection coefficients are less likely to satisfy the criterion for lumped system analysis.
