2. What is the correct formula for the rate of heat transfer (q) from a surface of body of the area A to the surrounding fluid, when surface of the body is at temperature T_s and the surrounding fluid is at temperature T_∞?

a. q = k A (T_s – T_∞)
b. q = h A (T_s – T_∞)
c. q = (h/k) A (T_s – T_∞)
d. q = (1/h) A (T_s – T_∞)

Where,
k = conductivity of the body
h = coefficient of convection
