ABSTRACT: Heating by pipes embedded in concrete is considered in three-dimensional space. A concrete floor resting on the ground or held at a constant temperature has heating pipes located midway between the top and bottom of the concrete. The top of the concrete is cooled by Newton’s law of cooling and the sides are insulated.
