\section{MLT}
In the ``Mixing Length Theory'' of convection it is assumed that an element of fluid rises in pressure equilibrium and retains its identity while it moves through a distance $\Delta r$, after which it mixes with its surroundings, releasing its excess heat energy. The distance $\lambda \equiv
$\Delta \Delta r$ is called mixing length.
The heat transferred by upward moving elements can then be quantified as:
\begin{equation}
F_{c} = \frac{1}{2} \rho v c_{cp} \lambda \Delta \nabla T
