Use these bulk data entries to define the nonlinear convection value as varying with temperature.
Near Field Nonlinear Convection Exponent	BNL field in the BCONPRP bulk data entry.Specifies the exponent associated with the nonlinear convective heat flow for near field behavior.If you specify a real value, the value is the value of the exponent.If you specify an integer, the value is the ID of a TABLEM1 or TABLEM2 or TABLEM3 bulk data entry. Use these bulk data entries to define the exponent as varying with temperature.
Near Thermal Contact Threshold	DQNEAR field in the BCONPRP bulk data entry.Specifies the distance below which near thermal contact behavior occurs. This value is used in heat transfer analyses only. Specify a value of 0.0 if thermal contact does not occur.
Radiation Emissivity	EMISS field in the BCONPRP bulk data entry.Defines the emissivity for radiation to the environment or near thermal radiation.If you specify a real value, the value is the radiation emissivity.If you specify an integer, the value is the ID of a TABLEM1 or TABLEM2 or TABLEM3 bulk data entry. Use these bulk data entries to define the radiation emissivity value as varying with temperature.
