We analyze the asymptotic behavior corresponding to the arbitrary high
conductivity of the heat in the thermoelectric devices. This work deals with a
steady-state multidimensional thermistor problem, considering the Joule effect
and both spatial and temperature dependent transport coefficients under some
real boundary conditions in accordance with the Seebeck-Peltier-Thomson
cross-effects. Our first purpose is that the existence of a weak solution holds
true under minimal assumptions on the data, as in particular convex domains
with Lipschitz boundary.
This paper addresses a nonstationary flow of heat-conductive incompressible
Newtonian fluid with temperature-dependent viscosity coupled with linear heat
transfer with advection and a viscous heat source term, under homogeneous
Dirichlet boundary conditions. The partial regularity for the velocity of the
fluid is proved to each proper weak solution, that is, for such weak solutions
which satisfy some local energy estimates in a similar way to the suitable weak
solutions of the Navier-Stokes system.
The existence of proper weak solutions of the Dirichlet-Cauchy problem
constituted by the Navier-Stokes-Fourier system which characterizes the
incompressible homogeneous Newtonian fluids under thermal effects is studied.
We call proper weak solutions such weak solutions that verify some local energy
inequalities in analogy with the suitable weak solutions for the Navier-Stokes
equations. Finally, we deal with some regularity for the temperature.
