Sufficient conditions to the existence for solutions of a thermoelectrochemical problem

Abstract

A mathematical model of nonlinear radiation is introduced into a thermoelectrochemical problem, and its qualitative analysis is focused on existence of solutions. The main objective is the nonconstant character of each parameter, that is, the coefficients are assumed to be depend on the spatial variable and the temperature. Making recourse of known estimates of solutions for some auxiliary elliptic and parabolic problems, which are explicitly determined by the Gehring-Giaquinta-Modica theory, we find sufficient smallness conditions on the data to the existence of the original solutions via the Schauder fixed point argument. These conditions may provide useful informations for numerical as well as real applications. We conclude with an example of application, namely the electrolysis of molten sodium chloride.
