Hot water pipes are located on 2.0-ft centers in a concrete slab with Kxx = Kyy = 0.80 Btu / (h-ft-oF), as shown in Figure P13-26. If the outside surfaces of the concrete are at 75oF and the water has an average temperature of 200 oF, determine the temperature distribution in the concrete slab. Plot the temperature contours through the concrete. Use symmetry in your finite element model.
