The first thing You are doing wrong is providing screenshot instead of text. Have you tried viewing it?
Type the expression You fail to create and also all the related expressions. I'll try to check the dimensions.

The error is obvious - your units are not correct. You will have to work the units through your equations to sort it out.

Do not specify units twice, that's the reason of your problem. For example,
if H = 3 [m] and a = H/2 then CEL should be:
H = 3.0 [m]
a = H/2 {no dimension}
Your CEL is:
a = H/2 [m] means "H is divided by 2 AND by its dimension", that way "a" becomes dimensionless.
The same goes for the rest expressions.
