1st test example: SimpleCooling

A prescribed heat source dissipates its heat through a thermal conductor to a coolant flow. The coolant flow is taken from an ambient and driven by a pump with prescribed mass flow.
Results:
output explanation formula actual steady-state value
dTSource Source over Ambient dtCoolant + dtToPipe 20 K
dTtoPipe Source over Coolant Losses / ThermalConductor.G 10 K
dTCoolant Coolant's temperature increase Losses * cp * massFlow 10 K
