Dimensional check:
Units for Ts , Nu and h are consistent.
Quantitative check:
(i) h is within the range given in Table 1.1
(ii) Compute q s using Newton’s law gives uniform surface flux
(5) Comments
(i) Magnitude of h is relatively small
(ii) Surface temperature increases with distance along plate
