Estimate the time required to completely melt the frost the


A freezer compartment is covered with a 2-mm-thick layer of frost at the time it malfunctions. If the compartment is in ambient air at 20°C and a coefficient of h = 2 W/m2 · K characterizes heat transfer by natural convection from the exposed surface of the layer, estimate the time required to completely melt the frost. The frost may be assumed to have a mass density of 700 kg/m3 and a latent heat of fusion of 334 kJ/kg.
