Partial function for convective heat flux

Information

Partial function that is used to implement the convective heat flux as

q̇ = h ΔT,

where ΔT is the solid temperature minus the fluid temperature and h is the convective heat transfer coefficient.

Extends from Modelica.Icons.Function (Icon for functions).
