Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The size of the tubing used in a heated slab has a relatively small effect on the slab's heat output because the heat output is primarily determined by the temperature difference between the slab and its surroundings, and the surface area of the slab. The size of the tubing only affects the flow rate of the heating fluid, which has a relatively small effect on the overall heat output.
