A 200-mm-thick concrete bridge deck is embedded with heating cables as shown in Figure P13–33. If the ambient temperature under the deck is –10 ° C with h = 10 W/(m2-° C) and the ambient air temperature above the deck is 10 ° C with h = 10 W/(m2-° C), what is the temperature distribution in the slab? The heating cables are line sources generating heat of Q* = 50 W/m. The thermal conductivity of the concrete is 1:2 W/m-° C. Use symmetry in your model.
