What is the rate of heat loss through the slab


The concrete slab of the basement is 11 m long, 8 m wide, and 0.20 m thick. during the winter, temperatures are nominally 17 degrees C and 10 degrees C at the top and bottom surfaces, respectively. If the concrete has a thermal conductivity of 1.4 W/m*k what is the rate of heat loss through the slab? If the basement is heated by a gas furnace operating at an efficiency of n_f = 0.90 and natrual gas is priced at C_g = $0.02/MJ, what is the daily cost of the heat loss?
