Convection heat transfer in Conduction Formulas

Convection Heat Transfer Coefficient is the rate of heat transfer between a solid surface and a fluid per unit surface area per unit temperature. And is denoted by h. Convection heat transfer is usually measured using the Watt per Square Meter per Kelvin for Heat Transfer Coefficient. Note that the value of Convection heat transfer is always positive.
