+//From Appendix:

+//Calculation:
+Tf = (Ts+Too)/2 //Mean film temperature (°R)
+B = 1.0/Tf //Coefficient of expansion (°R^-1)
+Gr = g*B*(Ts-Too)*L**3/v**2 //Grashof number
+Ra = Gr*Pr //Rayleigh number
+//From equation 10.13(Table 10.2) and costants from Table 10.1:

+//Result:

+printf("There is a calculation mistake in the book for calculating Gr, so, value of h alters from that given.")
