Question:
Floor heating is used to keep a room at a toasty 25°C. On a cold day, the room loses heat through the walls, ceilings, door, and windows at the rate of 2,000 W. The heated floor area is 30 m2. The heat transfer coefficient for convective transport from the heated floor area to the room air is estimated to be 5.0 W/m2 K.
(a) Determine the floor temperature.
(b) If the maximum allowable floor temperature is to be 30°C, what should the value of the heat transfer coefficient be?
