What minimum power must be supplied to the coils

Reference no: EM13320200

A concrete slab is 9.7 cm thick and has an area of 4.6 m^2. Electric heating coils are installed under the slab to melt the ice on the surface in the winter months. What minimum power must be supplied to the coils to maintain a temperature difference of 17.3 Degrees C between the bottom of the slab and its surface? Assume all the energy lost is through the slab.
