An electrically heated cement floor covers an area of 100 mx 30 m. The surface tem- perature is 25°C and the ambient tempera- ture is 23°C. Approximately how much he is given off, in kilowatts? NOTE: from the point of view of heat radiation, cement is considered to be an insulator.

Step 1
Given: The area of the floor is .
The surface temperature is .
The ambient temperature is .
To determine: The amount of heat given off.
The expression for the power lost by radiation by cement floor is
......................... (1)
where P is the power lost by radiation, k is the radiation constant, is the surface temperature and is the ambient temperature.
Cement is considered to be an insulator, the radiation constant is .
