====== Thermal Boundary Conditions ======
Thermal boundary conditions are applied to faces of the components participating in the simulation by connecting to the boundary condition input on the thermal solver component

===== Temperature Load =====
A "Temperature" boundary condition fixes the temperature at the chosen boundary at the specified temperature.
A Temperature boundary condition requires two inputs:
* G: the geometry of the surfaces where the temperature is fixed
* T: the magnitude of the temperature

===== Thermal Convection =====
"Thermal Convection" specifies the transfer of heat from a surrounding medium.
A thermal convection boundary condition requires three inputs:
* G: the geometry of the surfaces where the convection is specified.
* C: the coefficient of convection
* Te: the temperature of the surrounding medium

===== Thermal Flux =====
Surface "Thermal or Heat Flux" specifies the heat flow per unit of surface area.
A surface thermal flux requires two inputs:
* G: the geometry of the surfaces where the heat flux is applied
* HF: the magnitude of the heat flux
