+    Gets the properties of the materials presented in each layer of wall for a given control volume.

+    IMPORTANT:
+    The given wall can be a fluid or solid, be aware of this when you start to use the properties.
+    List of fluid properties:
+    - Volumetric Thermal Expansion
+    - Dynamic Viscosity

+    - `"rho"`: Wall Density [kg/m3]
+    - `"cp"`: Wall Specific Heat Capacity [J/kg.K]
+    - `"volumetric_thermal_expansion"`: Wall Volumetric Thermal Expansion [1/K]
