Problem 58P

An electric windshield defroster is used to remove 0.25-in of ice from a windshield. The properties of the ice are Tsat = 32°F, uif = hif =144 Btu/lbm, and v =0.01602 ft3/lbm. Determine the electrical energy required per square foot of windshield surface area to melt this ice and remove it as liquid water at 32°F. What is the mini­mum temperature at which the defroster may be operated? Assume that no heat is transferred from the defroster or ice to the surroundings.
