This component links the variation of the potential enthalpy (or temperature for an ideal gase) to heat flow balance in the opened lumped volume. It is the thermal inertia of a lumped volume
A lump volume means that a fixed geometric volume is considered
but the boundary of this volume are not hermetic thus the volume is
not closed.
The volume is at constant pressure since the focus is on the
thermal aspect only and the thermal time is often much greater than
the aeraulic time.
For an open volume the balance is performed with the enthalpy to
take account of the isobaric dilatation.
The basic constitutive equation for convection derives from the first principe of thermodynamics :
