STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Heat Transfer Coefficient on Gas Side: 500 Watt per Square Meter per Celcius --> 500 Watt per Square Meter per Kelvin (Check conversion here)
Thickness of Engine Wall: 0.01 Meter --> 0.01 Meter No Conversion Required
Thermal conductivity of material: 235 Watt per Meter per Degree Celsius --> 235 Watt per Meter per K (Check conversion here)
Heat Transfer Coefficient on Coolant Side: 50 Watt per Square Meter per Celcius --> 50 Watt per Square Meter per Kelvin (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

U = 1/((1/h_g)+(ΔX/K)+(1/h_c)) --> 1/((1/500)+(0.01/235)+(1/50))

Evaluating ... ...
