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).

### Inputs

Type | Name | Default | Description
--- | --- | --- | ---
TemperatureDifference | dT |  | Temperature difference solid minus fluid [K]

### Outputs

Type | Name | Description
--- | --- | ---
HeatFlux | q_flow | Convective heat flux from solid to fluid [W/m2]
