Usage

Example of the model specification:

filmBoilingModel
{
    // Mandatory entries
    type            BreenWestwater;

    // Optional entries
    Cn              <scalar>;
    an              <scalar>;
    bn              <scalar>;
    n               <scalar>;
}

where the entries mean:

Property	Description	Type	Reqd	Deflt
type	Type name: BreenWestwater	word	yes	-
Cn	Model coefficient	scalar	no	0.37
