Expert Solution
Step 1

Given: The area of the floor is 100 m×30 m.

           The surface temperature is 25°C

           The ambient temperature is 23°C

To determine: The amount of heat given off. 

The expression for the power lost by radiation by cement floor is 

P=kAT14-T24  ......................... (1) 

where P is the power lost by radiation, k is the radiation constant, T1 is the surface temperature and  T2 is the ambient temperature.

Cement is considered to be an insulator, the radiation constant is 5×10-8 W/m2.K4.
