HeatFP:

Path: Thermal/ThermalProperties

% Computes the temperature at two surfaces of a flat plate 
   given that the heat input is on face 2. Both sides emit to free space.

   ------
   Inputs
   ------
   q2          (1,1)   Heat flux on face 2  (watts/m^2)
   alpha2      (1,1)   Absorptivity of face 2
   e2          (1,1)   Emissivity of face 2
   e1          (1,1)   Emissivity of face 1
   k           (1,1)   Conductivity between the faces (watts/deg-K)
   fC          (1,1)   Fraction of incoming heat converted to electricity
   tau         (1,1)   Fractional error

   -------
   Outputs
   -------
   t1          (1,1)   Temperature of face 1
   t2          (1,1)   Temperature of face 2
