ConvectiveResistor
Lumped thermal element for heat convection (dT = Rc*Q_flow)

Description
This is a model of linear heat convection, e.g., the heat transfer between a plate and the surrounding air; same as theConvection componentbut using the convective resistance instead of the convective conductance as an input.This is advantageous for series connections of ConvectiveResistors,especially if it shall be allowed that a convective resistance is defined to be zero (i.e. no temperature difference).
