Note: You can make your own terms or use assumptions for your convenience.
It is well known that the thermal conductivity (k) is a property of the fluid. You already know the concept and the definition of Fourier's Law and Newton's cooling law. In Newton's cooling law, the heat transfer coefficient (h) would be most important parameter to determine the convection heat transfer rate, however the heat transfer coefficient is not a property of the fluid.
(1) Explain the Fourier's Law and the Newton's Cooling Law with your plentiful opinion. (Maybe equations would be needed.)
(2) Near the wall, let's have a certain condition: heat would be transferred from the wall to the ambient. It means that the heat transfer mode would be changed from the solid to the fluid as a following figure. Explain why the heat transfer coefficient is not a property of the fluid through your derivation of heat balance equations.
(1) Note: Consider where the criteria of conduction is. Near the wall, the heat transfer mode would be ambiguous between the conduction and the convection.
