A long 1-cm-diameter electric cable is imbedded in a concrete wall (k = 0.13 W/(m K)) which is 1 m*1 m, as shown in the sketch. If the lower surface is insulated, the surface of the cable is 100°C and the exposed surface of the concrete is 25°C, estimate the rate of energy dissipation per meter of cable.

GIVEN
A long electric cable imbedded in a concrete wall with cable diameter (D) = 1 cm = 0.01 m

The temperature of the exposed concrete surfaces (To) = 25°C
FIND
The rate of energy dissipation per meter of cable (q/L)
ASSUMPTIONS
