In general, the simplest temperature profiles that will satisfy the boundary conditions should be chosen.
The accuracy of the method increases as the order of a polynomial temperature choice increases; however,
the use of high-order polynomials (third and higher) is often not justified since a small increase in accuracy
requires significantly more computational effort. Equation C5 can be used to find a relation between X and
δ. In nondimensional form this is
