There is a small mistake in the formulation: in the "Equation" field,
each line represents one _term_ in the equation (maybe we should state
this more explicitely in the doc). So, you can write [{T} + Sqrt[{T}] +
k , {T} ] (everything goes in the constant part of the equation, i.e. in
the right hand side), but not [Dof{T} + Sqrt[{T}] + k , {T} ]. The
convection should therefore be written as

Galerkin { [ Hc[] * Dof{T} , {T} ] ; 
Galerkin { [ -Hc[] * Ta , {T} ] ; 

Hope this helps,
