the actual relation for Q a=(T o−T ¿ )/( + ) where x = thickness of sink and S = Surface area
kS hS

in current scenario total rate of heat transfer for air is 0.0396W, while total heat transfer through
convection is 2.13W, where did that extra heat go??

In this analysis the temperature of surface of sink is assumed… because in whole paper surface
temperature of sink, with channel geometry 1mm x 0.2 mm is not given.

And heat
