Class
    Foam::heatExchangerModels::referenceTemperature

Description
    A heat exchanger model where heat exchange
    is calculated via a temperature table.

Usage
    Minimal example by using \c constant/fvOptions:
    \verbatim
    <name>
    {
        // Inherited entries
        ...

        // Mandatory entries
        model                    referenceTemperature;
        targetQdot               <Function1<scalar>>;

        // Conditional mandatory entries

            // Option-1
            Tref                     <scalar>;

            // Option-2
            file                     "<word>";
    }
    \endverbatim

    where the entries mean:
    \table
      Property  | Description                       | Type  | Reqd | Deflt
      model     | Model name:effectivenessTable     | word  | yes  | -
      targetQdot | Target heat rejection [J/s]                    <!--
                -->                    | Function1<scalar> | yes | -
      Tref      | Reference temperature [K]         | scalar | choice | -
      file      | 2D reference temperature table = function of primary    <!--
                --> mass flow rate [kg/s] and primary flow temperature    <!--
                -->                                 | file   | choice | -
    \endtable

      - \link interpolation2DTable.H \endlink
