The Fluid Properties Check component models Air fluid properties calculation.
Before using HeatConvection component and components in Air and Water subpackage, you can check how to calculate fluid properties
which are used for the component internally.
And, if you'd like to define your own definition for the heat transfer coefficient calculation, this component is helpful to get the fluid properties.
