- add_wall_temperature_propertyTrueIf true, create a material property for the wall temperature (average if multiple heat transfers)
Default:True
C++ Type:bool
Controllable:No
Description:If true, create a material property for the wall temperature (average if multiple heat transfers)
Closures1PhaseNone
This class is used for providing no closures for a single-phase flow channel, which allows all closures to be created directly in the input file.
Input Parameters
- control_tagsAdds user-defined labels for accessing object parameters via control logic.
C++ Type:std::vector<std::string>
Controllable:No
Description:Adds user-defined labels for accessing object parameters via control logic.
- enableTrueSet the enabled status of the MooseObject.
Default:True
C++ Type:bool
Controllable:No
Description:Set the enabled status of the MooseObject.

# THM sends massflux and temperature at the inlet of the core, and pressure at the outlet of the core
