In the arctic sea, the ice sheets are melting. Let's calculate the temperautre distribution in one such ice sheet. The sheet is 2 m thick. Under the sheet there is ice-water mixture and it can be assumed that the temperature of the bottom surface of the ice sheet is approximately 0°C. Air at -20°C is blowing above the sheet. The convection coefficient of air is 15 W/m².K. The thermal conductivity of ice is 2.2 W/m.K. What is the temperautre of icesheet at its center (i.e., at 1 m from the surface)?
