Need help setting up chtMultiRegion

I am currently learning how to setup a chtMultiRegion problem but I'm having hard time finding a good tutorial or walkthrough on how to set it up.
I have created an incredible easy heat sink which I wish to flow air through. The air will pickup some heat which will be dissipated from the flange which will have an energy flux assigned into it (I believe this is a boundary condition). I have: A heat sink (solid) inside a "wind-tunnel" (Inlet, Outlet and walls) blowing air. The sink has been exported from my CAD-software as an '.stl'-file. I have found tutorials showing how to create the mesh and split the regions (using snappyHexMesh) and managed to do just that. My commands are as follow:
In my boundary condition (0), system and constant folder I now have three folders; domain1, Heater and Outside. Now I don't know how to continue setting up the boundary conditions and the rest of the case necessary to run a simulation. Any ideas or guidance is appreciated!  snappyHexMeshDict Code:
