Natural Convection Example Problem - Vertical vs Horizontal Surfaces

Heat Transfer Natural Convection example problem comparing free convection off a vertical surface, natural convection off the horizontal upper surface of a hot plate, and natural convection from the horizontal lower surface of a hot plate.

Along the way you'll need to use the Rayleigh Number, Grashof Number, Nusselt Number, Film Temperature, and Coefficient of Thermal Expansion.
