Answer

$\iint_S F \cdot dS=\iint_D [P \dfrac{\partial h}{\partial x}-Q+R\dfrac{\partial h}{\partial z}]dA $ where, $D$ is a projection of $S$ onto the xz-plane.

Work Step by Step

Since, $\iint_S F \cdot dS=\iint_S F \cdot n dS$ where, $n$ denotes the unit vector. and $dS=n dA=\pm \dfrac{(r_u \times r_v)}{|r_u \times r_v|}|r_u \times r_v| dA=\pm (r_u \times r_v) dA$ The flux through a surface can be defined only when the surface is orientable. Here, we have $r_x=i+(\dfrac{\partial h}{\partial x})j;r_z=(\dfrac{\partial h}{\partial z})j+k$ Now, we get $r_x \times r_z=(\dfrac{\partial h}{\partial x})i-j+(\dfrac{\partial h}{\partial z})k$ Thus, we get $dS=(\dfrac{\partial h}{\partial x} i-j+\dfrac{\partial h}{\partial z}k) dA$ When $F=Pi+Qj+Rk$ Hence, our result is: $\iint_S F \cdot dS=\iint_D [P (\dfrac{\partial h}{\partial x}) -Q+R(\dfrac{\partial h}{\partial z})]dA $ where, $D$ is the projection of $S$ onto the xz-plane.
