BUG: input parameter QJFRAC

Describe the bug
Input parameter QJFRAC does not work and/or does anything

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to file *operation.xlsx
2. Click on sheets STR_MIX or STR_SC or STR_STAB or Z_JACKET
3. Scroll down to line 17, 15, 17, 17 respectively
4. Set the parameter value
5. Save and run the software
6. See error

Expected behavior
The heat given in input to the component should be reduced leading to a lower temperature increase.

1. Go to input file conductor_definition.xlsx
2. Click on sheet CONDUCTOR_input
3. Scroll down to row 22
4. Change the value of the flag
5. Run the program
6. See error

BUG: fixAlphaBvalue

Describe the bug
Flag fixAlphaBvalue does not work or does nothing.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to file *\operation.xlsx
2. Click on sheets STR_MIX or STR_STAB or STR_SC

4. Set the flag (no suggestion are provided in the input file)
5. Save and run the simulation
6. See error

Expected behavior
Since the there is no explanation of the meaning of the flag I do not have an expected behavior.

BUG: natural heat tranfer coefficient flag value 2

Describe the bug
Flag to select evaluate heat transfer coefficient by natural convection with the environment using a suitable correlation does not work.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to file *coupling.xlsx
2. Click on sheet HTC_choice
3. In the matrix, select an allowed interface with the external environment
4. Set the flag to 2
5. Save and run the software
6. See error

Expected behavior
Natural convection heat transfer coefficient with the external environment evaluated with a suitable correlation.

2. Click on sheet STR_MIX or STR_SC or STR_STAB
3. Scroll down to lines 18-21 or 16-19 or 18-21 respectively
4. Set the parameter values (no indications are provided)
5. Save and run the file
6. See error

Expected behavior
Do not have an expected behavior since it is not clear what is the meaning and the use of this parameters.
