Class
    Foam::filmPyrolysisRadiativeCoupledMixedFvPatchScalarField

Description
    Mixed boundary condition for temperature, to be used in the flow and
    pyrolysis regions when a film region model is used.

    Example usage:
    \verbatim
    myInterfacePatchName
    {
        type            filmPyrolysisRadiativeCoupledMixed;
        Tnbr            T;
        kappa           fluidThermo;
        Qr              Qr;
        kappaName       none;
        filmDeltaDry    0.0;
        filmDeltaWet    3e-4;
        value           $internalField;
    }
    \endverbatim

    Needs to be on underlying mapped(Wall)FvPatch.
    It calculates local field as:

    \verbatim
        ratio = (filmDelta - filmDeltaDry)/(filmDeltaWet - filmDeltaDry)
    \endverbatim

    when ratio = 1 is considered wet and the film temperature is fixed at
    the wall. If ratio = 0 (dry) it emulates the normal radiative solid BC.

    In between ratio 0 and 1 the gradient and value contributions are
    weighted using the ratio field in the following way:

    \verbatim
        qConv = ratio*htcwfilm*(Tfilm - *this);
        qRad = (1.0 - ratio)*Qr;
    \endverbatim

    Then the solid can gain or loose energy through radiation or conduction
    towards the film.

    Notes:

    - kappa and \c kappaName are inherited from temperatureCoupledBase.
    - Qr is the radiative flux defined in the radiation model.
