Non-isothermal multicomponent flows with mass diffusion and heat conduction

Abstract

A type-I model of non-isothermal multicomponent systems of gases describing mass diffusive and heat conductive phenomena is presented. The derivation of the model and a convergence result among thermomechanical theories in the smooth regime are discussed. Furthermore, the global-in-time existence of weak solutions and the weak-strong uniqueness property are established for the corresponding system with zero barycentric velocity.
