Heat Flux in Convection Formulas

The Heat Flux is the rate of thermal energy transfer per unit area, indicating how much heat is being transferred through a surface in a given time. And is denoted by q. Heat Flux is usually measured using the Watt per Square Meter for Heat Flux Density. Note that the value of Heat Flux is always negative.
