#
# If we assume that epsilon*sigma*(T_inf^4-T_s^4) is approximately equal to
#   epsilon*sigma*4*T_inf^3*(T_inf-T_s), that form is equivalent to
#   h*(T_inf-T_s), the convective flux bc.  So, the radiative and convective
#   flux bcs should give nearly the same answer if the leading terms are equal.
